[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1767551, member: 24816"] I got calves mixed up, that one was right at 7 months. We generally will wait till around 6 months to wean, but if there are just an an odd one or two sometimes we go ahead and wean, so we can get it over with at one time. Especially if it’s a heifers calf or a cow that’s not milking real well etc. In this case, it was a calf from a young heifer, and she was getting pulled down, so went on and weaned it. I think we did about as well selling it that way, the only way I see it having done better would been to keep it and sell as a much bigger calf. [/QUOTE]
