[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 8174856, member: 70166"] Mine calve in April and may and they get weaned in November when they come in and I chuck their mothers back out. Thought about creeping tjem sort of mid September onwards as they look great till then but treating the cows like second class citizens like I do means it's a bit hard on the calves at that age when they are eating a lot of grass that isn't really good enough for them. Some are OK but some of the cows probably aren't milky enough especially at that time of year. A bit of creep would probably go a long way and help with weaning check. It's a bit of a hurdle to get my head around when I don't like spending on things that come in bags. [/QUOTE]
