I have two cows that I bought this fall (one in Oct. and one this weekend) that each have a calf around 275-300lbs. Of course, since they had the calves when I bought them, I do not know their exact birth dates. Anyway, both cows are thin, I would say that they each have a BCS of around 3.5 or 4. They are doing a GREAT job on the calves, though. My question is, should I go ahead and wean the calves at this size to help the girls put on some weight and get ready for the next calves, or by weaning them at this size will it do more harm to the calves than good for the mommas? Thanks for any advice.
