[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1719989, member: 17304"] I agree with one thing the article says about weaning .....the transition should be as smooth as possible. For me i've found that weaning on grass is the easiest and most economical as long as they aren't too young. Early weaning almost always guarantees high feed bills. While it may be better on a cow to nurse only 90 days...thats where culling comes into play. All cows aren't created equal. Some need to be pampered/culled.....and some can raise a good calf year after year under most conditions...those are the ones you keep and try to produce more of. [/QUOTE]
