[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7140935, member: 86168"] the trouble with keeping calves longer, before selling, you have to keep a 'bloom' on them, otherwise they get knocked, having been on the 'other side', seen all sorts ! Very often, some of the high price calves, look quite a bit older than 41 days ! But, for us, easy calving is the aim, small calves make lower prices, alas. But, with a good dose of BB's to come, in a nice tight group, we will have a go, and get them going ! But, if they start to look stale, you have a choice, take a hit, or keep them for 4/5 months.
