[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 683546, member: 968"] Our calves are all born between late Jan & late March. We do very simalar to Avalon. I pulled 4 calves in that were born Jan 24 - Feb 14 back about the 1st part of June. Keep calves in the barn during day & out with dam at night. So when we wean them (weaned 6-29), they hardly care. Already eating grain, so no problem with switching the bugs in their rumen. Just had our first show, so the youngest was about 5.5 months old, oldest calf 6 months old. Back home, pigging out like they are "pros". And it sure does help to have already halter broke cattle around. You just need to be sure they are getting high quality hay & grain. We top dress with Calf Manna for the more digestible protein to replace the milk. But our ration is whole shell corn with protein pellets making a 15% protein mix. [/QUOTE]
