[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 283370, member: 539"] I guess this is another of those regional differences things. A 'just weaned' heifer in my area means exactly that - that she was very recently taken off her mother. A weaning/weanling (sometimes called a coming yearling) calf, on the other hand, means that the calf has been weaned anywhere from a week up to the age of being classified as a yearling. Calves do not qualify for the 'just weaned' terminology past a week (although they are not actually weaned, they have quit bawling for their mother), nor are yearlings referred to as weaning calves- they are yearlings. Past the 'yearling' stage, they are referred to as 'coming 2-year olds'. Just the way I learned it. [/QUOTE]
