[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 273266, member: 13"] I voted six months, but that's not set in stone. The long pole in the tent for us is bull test dates. We want the bull calves to be weaned 45 days before they go on test. Generally, that will be at about six months. We'll usually wean the heifers then, too, just to keep it simple. And when we've had to start feeding cows in July, we weaned even earlier. We think it's better to get the cows dried up and feed the calves than to keep her milking and hope the calf gets enough to grow. [/QUOTE]
