Weaning

Hi Julie,

Thanks for your note. Honestly... I think it is much less stressful if you are planning to take an animal to a show that they be fully weaned first. As you know, show situations are much different than life at home on the farm! It would be much better not to add the additional stress of sudden weaning. It could be hard on the mom in varying ways as well.

Thanks for your question and I wish you the very best, Cathy
