weaners
Recently separated livestock
Weaners are young animals, typically pigs or calves, that have recently been weaned from their mother's milk.
In livestock farming, the weaner stage marks the transition from nursing to independent feeding: The farmer moved the weaners to a separate pen.
In Australian slang, weaner can also refer to a newly weaned calf specifically raised for beef production.
