[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1544557, member: 24694"] We definitely wean some of the nicest heifers that we sell for a premium or at least try to sell for a premium. This year we had a heifer that was letting it's first calf nurse after she had her second calf. She has since weaned the first calf. My wife give the new calf a bottle a day for a week and he's doing great. I'm planning on selling her as a 3 in 1 this spring. So far we haven't noticed any other weaning problems, besides some calves stealing milk. From what I've noticed some cows put up with the stealing and some don't. $700 is to to much to pay for a young bred cow in this market at the moment. [/QUOTE]
