[QUOTE="denvermartinfarms, post: 1010072, member: 16167"] I would buy him or let him buy his own bottle calves preferably bull calves until he can get the Fsa loan, the buy some good bred cows. He will learn a ton about cattle and sickness and how to treat, and make money along the way. I would say buy about five baby beef calves if you can find them or some good Holsteins and raise them to about 500lbs sell them and buy more. Just keep doing that until he can get the loan then start the cow calf side of it. Hope this helped some, I may have missed something you said that goes against my advice, but this is the best plan I can come up with as a outsider. Oh and when I say raise the baby calves I mean with replacer not a nurse cow. [/QUOTE]
