Re: RC: Question Wean/Separation

[Bette Lamore <woa@stormnet.com>]

Hi Jerri
Sometimes never :-) I had a colt separated from his dam for a few
months. He was finally allowed back in pasture and immediately started
nursing again and Mama let him--- her milk came back in. I guess what I
am saying is that it is totally individual depending on the mare and
foal... and Mama pretty well calls the shots! So what good do averages
do you anyway?
Bette, whose horses never bother to read statistics!
