[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1828328, member: 42463"] Assuming the calves are fall born and small, I wouldn't wean them. The cow is the cheapest and best weight gain a calf has. Besides... the cow won't be earning her keep if she's not feeding a calf to weaning size. Skinny cows will breed, and even better as long as they are gaining weight. I wouldn't worry about graining them myself as long as they have good forage of some kind. How about some pics? That will give us some idea of what you think thin is. [/QUOTE]
