[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 608029, member: 4353"] I agree with Aaron, in the few and far between good years I have also left calves suckle for 10 months with no ill effects at all and cows that didn't get overfat, but still remained in very good condition. If your cowherd is the type that milks themselves to a bag of bones to chase that extra bit of "performance" for the sake of chasing numbers or are just struggling to maintain themselves while nursing a calf, it will probably not work for you, but to those who have the right type of cows and the right grazing conditions there is alot of benefits. Your management just needs to be flexible if conditions or the cows' condition don't allow it that specific year. [/QUOTE]
