Most frequently calf raisers look at the age of the calf as the criteria for weaning. That is ok as long as starter intake at the time of weaning is high enough. Different strategies around feeding of calves result in different ideal times of weaning. For more information on calf weaning and feeding strategies you can find good articles through the following links:
