Mine are usually 4-5 months it is rare to have one weaned at 6 months. I like to have them off the mare and settled before our winter weather hits. I just think it is easier on them to not be stressed and trying to stay warm. I think they do just fine at that age. I had to wean a couple at 3 months and they did great maybe better than the ones still on the mare.

Location: Carpenter, WY		All the mares were over this spring so it will be about 4 - 4 1/2 months for us.  Like to get them weaned and mares settled before the cold weather happens.  Supposed to get snow tonight already.
