Guest guest Posted October 21, 1999 Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 Prabhus, PAMHO AGTSP "c) Gradual weaning can be prior to 6 months If the calf's coat color or it looses interest in milk (ruling out illness)." The above taken from the minimum cow standards I find slighty confusing. I can understand the gradual weaning process and the reference to loss of interest due to illness etc. But can anyone expand on the reference to coat colour? I have never come across any reference to coat colour, and would consider the condition of the coat more relevant in determining overall condition, infection, physical ailments etc. Is there some great significance regarding coat colour and calf feeding? Sorry, but my experience on cow-herding is gained on the job, and I may not be well versed in some insider lore, although from years working around farmers I have never come across any reference such as this. ys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
