[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 234882, member: 3306"] If he isn't ruminating then he isn't ready to wean. Are you keeping feed in with him? Mine seem to start eating feed after about a week. I feed the bottle then put some calf starter in the trough, not much, and leave them in there with it. Then I go out later and open the gate out of the pen and let them out with the other calves. I don't wean mine until I have had them two months from the time I buy them. Once they are eating and ruminating I wean them cold turkey, increasing their calf starter once they wean to make up for the milk being gone. [/QUOTE]
