[QUOTE="tcolvin, post: 1805255, member: 42820"] Most of you have seen my post on pasturing, fertilizing and more. My problem is I know I’m overloaded with cows to the pasture size. At what age is it safe to pull calves from mom to give her and the pasture a break. I don’t want to stunt the calves but I need to reduce pasture pressure. The calves I talking about will be 5 months old next week and are grazing and eating cotton seed with sweet feed mixed in. I use to wean at 5-5-1/2 months but that was before I had 8 calves at one time with 3 more to be by august this year. Someone told me 4 months would be fine but I have always done sometime up to 6 months. If I move them now they will have good grass and cotton seed/sweet feed mix. [/QUOTE]
