[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 21012, member: 19"] I've always weaned at around 7 months, but my cows are doing outstanding and think they could handle another month or two. As it stands I've got a few cows scattered out and have 2 breeding seasons six months apart. So weaning at 7 months forces me to handle the cattle more than I would if I weaned a little older. I pen them every six months for vaccinations, worming, etc, and turn my bulls in at the same time. Weaning later would allow handling only twice instead of four times. I've never experimented the BCS of a cow trying to calve after weaning a 9 month calf. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
