perryton, tx
I'm considering weaning my calves to take some of the load off of my cows in this drought. The problem is while 80% of them are 4-6 months old, i have a handful of late ones which are 1.5-3 months. Do these need to be left on the cow for a while longer? I guess what i really want to know is what is the ideal age to pull them off the cow without hurting their performance. Thanks.
