[QUOTE="rocfarm, post: 1763925, member: 42715"] Interesting. I would have guessed that even leaving a calf on longer, maybe even letting the mother wean on her own, would raise a better replacement heifer/cow. Wonder if separating the heifers early affects the later maternal qualities of the cow as well. Something to research on Google scholar, I guess. If early weaned calves are smaller in size as two year olds, does that mean they are more likely to have calving problems, or are their calves just born smaller so it’s not an issue? [/QUOTE]
