N2 - A study of early vs. normal weaning of calves concludes that early weaning improves feedlot production efficiency, reducing per day and per pound feedlot production costs. Early weaned steers finished lighter; thus feedlot profitability was not affected. Early weaning has a positive affect on cow health, and pasture utilization rates.
