[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1063401, member: 21194"] Just to put in my ¢2 worth, although it's a bit off-topic, I wean calves off first-time two-year old heifers at 60 - 90 days old. They will often come in heat within a week, so that puts them calving along with my older cows, and it gives them a chance to finish growing without the calf pulling them down. You give up a few dollars on the calf's price, but I believe you more than make up for it because the heifer will have her next calf sooner and be in better shape. [/QUOTE]
