Where has the time gone, I turned 2 months old on June 21st.\u00a0 To celebrate, I got weaned.\u00a0 Weaning is the process of separating calves from their source of milk.\u00a0 So, I no longer receive any milk replacer.\u00a0 Typically,\u00a0 dairy calves are weaned 60-75 days after they are born.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to being weaned, I said goodbye to my individual calf hutch and moved into a pen with a few of my new friends!\u00a0 I now live in group housing, so I have had to learn live with other calves.\u00a0 This can be a stressful time but it wasn’t.\u00a0 We have straw bedding to lay on, fans to keep us cool and cold water to drink whenever I get thirsty.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I no longer get milk replacer, I get to enjoy calf starter (5-6 pounds a day) and was introduced to hay which is good!\u00a0 The goal is for me to grow about 1.75 pounds a day until I am 10 months old.<\/p>\n

Thank you for following along, I promise to try and update you more often on what’s going on.  <\/p>\n
