[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 640273, member: 539"] Our calves were weaned around 6-7 months of age. How long you can run bull calves with heifer calves is going to depend on a few things - breed, genetics(the bigger, growthier heifers are generally the ones who start cycling early), management(the better they are fed, the faster they tend to grow, and the earlier they tend to start cycling), and plain old luck. There is no pat answer, but I would not recommend running bull calves with heifer calves any longer than absolutely necessary - that practice [b]WILL[/b] bite you in the ass one day soon - trust me on this. If your facilities are such that you are not able to sort off and seperate the bull calves, you really need to address that situation promptly. [/QUOTE]
