[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 948623, member: 17767"] I have a 5 month old simangus calf that probably already weighs 500 pounds. The steer has been eating grass and beef mix for at least 3 months. He is out of schedule with my other calves and I want to wean him and market him in the next two months. I have him with an 8 month old replacement heifer for company. I am using fenceline weaning which I find to be low stress. My cattleman friend gave strong advice that I should not wean this early. He said it was not good for the mother (her first calf). I would like to hear why this could be detrimental to the mother! [/QUOTE]
