[QUOTE="pauline, post: 517080, member: 7770"] I have two situations here. I have a young heifer who is only 1 year old. We have separated her from the main herd, which is being bred by the bull. All by herself on her own pasture, the young heifer is bawling all day long. I have also got a steer who was born on Sep 12, 2007 (6 months old). We plan on selling him and keeping his mama. I would like to put the steer with the young heifer to keep her company and wean him at the same time so that his mama can take a break from him and nourish the fetus inside her. My husband, however, wants to keep the steer with his mama as long as possible so that he can nurse on mama and feed on grass to grow as big and heavy as he can when we sell him. The heifer will get used to be alone by herself for two months then we'll put her with the bull. Which way to do it better? [/QUOTE]
