[QUOTE="fnfarms1, post: 1802862, member: 24416"] I’ve calved all my cows but 1. I’ve got 5-6 cows that I should have parted with years ago, but open cows and payments kept them around. I’m to a point I need to part ways with 5-8 anyway due to lack of rain here in far NE Oklahoma. Afraid we are in for another drought. Question being the youngest calf on the 5-8 I’m thinking to sell was born 3-8-23. So in June at 3 months old can you feasibly wean those, feed them and send cows to town? What about now at 2months? I know it’s not really cost effective but I hate to wait and cull those cows in fall and have same issue, but selling calves now feel like I did all the work and jumping out to early. Figure to sell cows, feed calves until fall. Buy some bred heifers or something in fall [/QUOTE]
