[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1654281, member: 19683"] 3 months isn't too young. If a heifer managed to grow a big calf calf in that time, she has a great potential as a cow when older. She probably has overdone herself and put too much of herself into the calf, and it'll be much better to wean a calf and give her some rest before the next one. Some cows tend to become skinnier while raising a calf, most of the time the biggest form all, but as long as she breeds back in time, raises a healthy calf until weaning, stays healthy herself and gets back into shape before the next calf, there's no need to cull them that quickly.
