[QUOTE="BLACKPOWER, post: 21062, member: 92"] There is no reason to keep a calf on a cow for 9 months. He will gain more if you wean at six months and feed him than he will nursing for 9 months. Besides she's not gonna be giving much milk at 8 and 9 months to justify keeping the calf on her. Your bringing her down and holding the calf back. To make up for her condition you'll pay for it in additional feed tryin to get her back in condition. You might not realize what your doing to the cow right now but you will realize it down the road with decreased milk production and lower conception rates. [/QUOTE]
