[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 922411, member: 7541"] [color=#0000FF]We are all talking about a beef cow. :bang: The difference is about caring for the calf. A dairy calf would be cared for anyway, and a dairy cow is most often culled when production declines, regardless of the age of the latest calf. Both beef cows and dairy cows are genetically programmed to produce milk, and broken mouth cows have not produced any beef since they grew up a long time ago. There are universal truths that apply to both kinds of cow. A calf does not need milk after it is two months, if it is provided with good feed. This is the norm in a dairy farm, and it is the norm when feeding a split off beef calf. :bang: :bang: And regarding hobby farms versus profit, all I can say is most advice here is about making the right choice to protect the value the cow in question is representing, while making the most of the last calf. All of this is profit oriented, regardless of the scale of the operation, the scale of the operation is not an issue here. [/color] :deadhorse: [/QUOTE]
