[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 7816057, member: 70166"] Sounds like a good plan. The only reason I wean in November is because I always found calves would get absolutely covered in shite in with their mothers and it didn't matter how much straw I used. It would be all over their heads and backs even if their bellies were clean. They got shat on while lying down in the shed 🤦♂️ Cows are wintered out for longer on deferred grass now though so I had planned on leaving calves on but my deferred grass didn't grow too well this year as the field was so dry and it didn't rain much so I'll wean them into a shed next week and the cows can strip graze what's there and have some hay. Not brave enough to leave calves on with not much grass there. Could creep them I suppose. [USER=487]@The Ruminant[/USER] does what you are describing I think. Or will know about it if he doesn't [/QUOTE]
