[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 599815, member: 440"] Damn, I swear I think some people just like to argue for the heck of it. Weaning by the signs does work-and yes, my dad did it and so did my grand pa. They also planted by the signs as well as set egss, fished and most everything else. But, I've been weaning by the signs all of my adult life and it does work. My partner isn't a southerner (not that you have to be a southerner but we do tend to do a few things differently down here) and he thought I was crazy when we first went into partnership and I wanted to wean by the signs. But, since we've done it both ways he acknowledges that there is a big difference. I suggest that our scientist get himself a copy of the Farmer's Almanac and conduct an experiment-he can wean a group of calves at random, no try this. Wean a group of calves when the sign is in the head or heart and wean the next group when the sign is in the feet. Complile the data and get back to us. Compare the length of time that the cows and calves walk the fence and bawl incessantly and stay off their feed and let us know the out come. In the mean time, I'll keep checking the calendar and doing as I have been in the past since it works for me and most everyone else that I know who have tried it and I'll just say to hell with science.
