[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1674592, member: 24816"] The only time I put them back together is after the heifer calves are bred or are of breeding age. Most of the time I run them in separate fields even through their first calving. It just gives the young heifers a better growing chance than if they had to compete with the mature cows. Years ago when I first started, I weaned my first calf and put her back with the rest of the cows within a couple months. She took back to nursing and the cow calved back early with the big calf still nursing. Had to make sure the new calf got colostrum and had to separate the older calf again, lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
