I am planning on weaning a month earlier than usual and weighing and started thinking a couple of things - why with the promotion of early weaning (esp in drought conditions) don't breed associations (at least the Maines) accept weights when they are weaned vs within a specific time period (ie btwn 170 and 235 days or some such thing) and when do people usually weigh and with what? Do you use a standing scales for BW, WW, and YW or just WW and YR. Do you own the scale or borrow one? If you own it what is it and do you like it?
