[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 647593, member: 968"] And I hope YESTERDAY was the perfect day to wean :banana: We weaned 7 fall calves born in October. Breed associations ADJUST weaning age to 205, so you can wean earlier or later (within a range) and they adjust to 205. You don't have to wean each calf at 205. Your environment, cow condition & management dictates when you should wean. In our case, 2 months is not enough time to get condition on the cow in the dead of winter. We wean pretty close to the 6.5 -7 month age. The majority of our calves are born in Feb - we wean in early Sept. This gives our cows fall grazing time before winter sets in. But, what works for me may not be right for anyone else. [/QUOTE]
