[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 667041, member: 6797"] You might want to read this thread in its entirety - not all of us agree with that 45-60 day time limit [url=http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=55100&p=634424&hilit=+How+long+after+weaning+can+I+put+calves+back+with+mothers%3F+#p634424]viewtopic.php?f=8&t=55100&p=634424&hilit=+How+long+after+weaning+can+I+put+calves+back+with+mothers%3F+#p634424[/url] You can ignore the spat - someone took offense to my thoughts - which by the way are valid and need to be considered as a short search will find a huge number of "How do I stop my weaned/yearling calves from sucking" questions. Space and time - once they start sucking again it is a pain in the @ss to stop them and those various tools become a requirement - meaning extra time and money and frustration if you do not have the infrastructure to man handle the animals - do it right the first time and usually (but not always) it does not happen that they suck after weaning - a real bad thing. Keep them apart for as long as you can - I often - not always - but often wait until the cow has her next calf on her - and yeah - that means a year - and yeah, you will still get suckers - we ship them asap - no mercy - it can cause major grief. If the link does not work just copy and paste the whole thing into the top bar. By the way - that phone number is not working right now - however it will be when I return to Tiberias from the Area of Separation 12 June. You will understand when you read that specific post.
