[QUOTE="dun, post: 1177840, member: 34"] We wean our heifers just like all of the steers or bull calves. Around 6 1/2 to a little over 7 months. We gradually ramp them up to about 1 1/2 % of their weight (and increase it as they grow) for 45 days or so then turn the retained heifers back out with the bred cows if the bull has been pulled. If we winter the bull (and bull calves) with the bred cows we keep the heifers apart and put the coming 2 year old first calvers with them but they don;t get grain anymore. [/QUOTE]
