[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 647294, member: 4353"] If the grazing is good and the cows' condition is good, I prefer to wean the replacements as late as possible just as long as the cow have a minimum of 2 months rest. The commercial calves are weaned to fit the weight ranges of the feedlot I sell to to get the most for the calf before he gets discounted for being a heavyweight. In a drought I have weaned everything 4 months and older in the past, but then they need special care and attention to make sure they continue to grow. As a generalisation, in a forage only system, try and let them nurse atleast 7 months if at all possible. [/QUOTE]
