[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1542452, member: 33533"] It depends on the cow, when next door had cattle he never weaned and it was a mess. A few would but many were just skinny and he lost a lot of cattle from not being hands on. I must say it was bloody hard to watch. We always give a cow three months break until she calves to let the tissue in the udder dry up and regenerate. My brother had a cow with a two year old still nursing but the cow hadn't calved since having her. I was told you can put easy wean flaps on for four days before seperating and it helps the process. If you leave them together longer the calf will figure out how to drink around the flap. [/QUOTE]
