Weaning Calves

Sami23 · 2016-09-24 23:07:15

What's the youngest age ye would wean calves at. Reason I'm asking is I've a couple of cows that calved over the summer who due to bad legs/joints won't be able to be housed again so will be selling them as soon as the calves are weaned ?

I'd say you could wean from now on, if the cows are that bad they're probably not feeding the calves to there potential.
