[QUOTE="AggieStudent20, post: 1548758, member: 38016"] I'm currently leaning more on the nurse cow thing with potentially running stockers with the grafted calves when there weaned. I hear the standard is to run 3 rotations on a Holstein with 3-4 calves a rotation including the cows natural calf. There are a few dairies around so sourcing Holstein/Jersey bull calves wouldn't be difficult. My only issue is sourcing beef bottle calves. Is there any tips on purchasing bottle calves from the sale barn? It seems to me people in my area sometimes want up to $300 for a snotty nosed, thin pink-eyed calf that may or may not have had colostrum. [/QUOTE]
