[QUOTE="MOFarmer2013, post: 1066108, member: 21300"] I need help with a weaning scenario. We have just bought a farm with cattle. The majority of the calves range from 400# to 600#. To my knowledge the calves have not had any vaccinations. Last Saturday we worked the calves and gave them all their shots. We have are going to band the bull calves next week so the tetanus toxiod will have time to work. My question is would you recommend to wean the calves and then sell them right afterward? Would you just sell after they have their shots and are banded and not wean them? Or would you wean them and let them eat pasture until I have to start feeding them and then sell them? (we have more than enough pasture right now.) I was thinking that we should wean them and then let them eat the free pasture to gain weight, and then sell them when you have to start feeding them. The problem with that is, then you will be selling closer to winter when the prices normally decline. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
