When to wean a bottle fed calf?
At about 2 months old start feeding a light grain along with the 2 daily feedings. Go down to one full bottle feeding and a half bottle feeding with grain for a week. Then just one bottle feeding and a full grain with hay feeding for a week. Then a half bottle feeding with grain and hay until the bottle is taken away. The calf should be weaned by the 4th week. This should take a month. Be your own judge of how much the calf eats solids, if it eats well, you can take away the bottle sooner. If the calf bawlks a lot, do it slower.
