[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 213309, member: 1744"] Calves are normally weaned at 205 days. Listen to Msscamp...the fetus develops over 70% of it''s size in the last trimester and thus makes the heaviest demands on the cow for nutrition. The fetus will take what it requires from the cow regardless of what the cow needs to maintain it's condition. IMO, I'd wean the calf when the cow hits the six month mark. The calf wil need more than pasture and hay. Have you determined the nutrition content of the cow's groceries and supplimented the cow accordingly? Just my two bits worth...Dave Mc [/QUOTE]
