[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1840514, member: 25884"] Agree... they do not want calves that are walking around looking for momma, don't know how to eat or how to drink out of a watering trough... and have an immune system that is not compromised by the stress of coming right off a cow. We didn't used to have the facilities to wean, but now we do and we do get more for the calves that are weaned and know how to find feed/water for themselves... No they might not gain for those first couple weeks they are weaned, but once they "get it", most buyers will pay more for them. [/QUOTE]
