Urge Farmers to Wean All Beef Calves Early
University of Minnesota extension animal husbandman Ray Arthaud notes several benefits of early calf weaning. Illinois research links higher efficiency from avoiding a growth lag between four and seven months, with cows then on maintenance diets freeing pasture for others. Early weaning could suit drylots or drought conditions, fall calving programs, and reduce issues from multiple births or first-calf heifers.
