[QUOTE="sim.-ang.king, post: 1568171, member: 14533"] The difference you're seeing is because the calf is getting feed, forage, and milk, without the stress of weaning. It's not a very good indicator of how effective a cow is at feeding her calf, and just inflates WW. Most of the gains are coming from the feed, and forage. Why not wean at 6 months? That is not early, and it will get a more accurate WW. A lot of operations do it, and that's why I ignore a lot of what those operation's reports. [/QUOTE]
