We normally wean at 6-8 weeks. A lot depends on how well the calf is doing.
Is it eating on its own? Does it drink from a pail with no help? We have
had the calves on milk longer if it was a premature calf or struggled when
it was younger.

We had gotten jerseys when my dh said I couldn't have a horse. LOL I saw
them on the front of a magazine and instantly fell in love. DH and DS has
Holsteins.
