[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 599458, member: 440"] We try to wean by the signs but sometimes we don't get to. Either, we have calves sold and need to get them pulled off the cows or the the timing just isn't right with our schedules but we usually wean by the moon as it seems to be a heck of a lot less stressful on the cows and the calves. Try to wean when the signs are in the feet or legs. You want to make sure that the sign is away from the head and heart. People think it's crazy but we see a huge difference when we wean if the sign is right. Usually about two days of bawling on the cow's and the calve's part and it's over. Seems like the calves stop stressing and go right to eating, on the other hand if we wean when the sign is in the heart or head they bawl for a week or more. [/QUOTE]
