[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1656650, member: 22295"] We vary weaning age based on many factors. We normally will ! wean calves on first calf heifers at 6-7 months and on mature cows at 7-8 months of age. This allows the heifers a little more rest before calving back. During drought years like this summer we consider available forage for the cows when deciding weaning age. We were fortunate to grow extra grass in the spring so supplemented the cows with liquid feed and left the calves on till normal time to wean. If our grass had been short we would of weaned a month early. No 2 years are alike so our management plan changes with the range conditions. [/QUOTE]
