We usually sell our commercial calves right off the cow at about 7 months old.
I bought a registered fleckvieh cow. She had her first calf(a fullblood fleck heifer) in November and was put with a bull in march(our usual start of the breeding season). She bred back in march and is in great shape and is still milking well.
I plan on keeping her heifer calf . Is it ok to wean the heifer in August when we wean our other calves? The calf would be 9 months old. The cow is due in December.
