Weaning’s a big step for calves and cows both. It’s where you set those calves up to grow, stay healthy, and handle stress better down the road. Done right, it makes the whole herd stronger. It may not “pay to wean” every year, but the way those calves perform is how buyers will know to pay more or less for your calves next year. #ranching #weaning #cowboy #cattle #calves | Tucker Brown RAB

How do we wean calves…well, let me show you! We wean calves for the health of the cow and the calf. Babies have reached a certain age that cow milk is no longer enough to support their growth. The separation is done to reduce stress. #weaningcalves #diamondpranchmeats | Diamond P Ranch | Facebook

This is how we start to wean our baby calves off of milk. Weaning calves off of milk is one of the most important steps to help them succeed in the long run. I like a nice slow and steady transition 👍 Our milk replacer is a 27/18. 27 percent protein and 18 percent fat. We feed milk replacer because we are not setup for a pasteurized milk.
