In my neck of the woods, September is a month where the air is filled with the sound of cattle being weaned. For calves, this is a completely new experience, similar to a child’s first day of kindergarten. For our cows, we’re asking them to wean a calf while still caring for another baby in-utero. Easy, right?While there is a little social discomfort associated with weaning (and calves aren’t afraid to let you know about it), there are a number of methods deployed by cattlemen across the country to help their calves – and cows – come through weaning successfully. We welcome you to listen in as we visit with Ted Perry with Purina Animal Nutrition regarding:The stressors both cows and calves go through at weaningHow we can alter our management to address stressThe role nutrition playsHow you can implement a few strategies to set your cattle up for improved performance long past weaningAdditional Resources:Don't Feed Cows Like You Did 20 Years Ago with Ted PerryBoosting Cow Herd Efficiency with IonophoresBuilding a Better Cow with David LalmanSubscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRAA huge thank you to Vermeer for their sponsorship of this episode.Have questions or comments?
