I am assuming that the friend that we are getting the calves from will have vaccinate them, maybe? Not sure, but what vaccination should we do if anything? What about deworming…I know you can do pellets that you can put in their feed.

Yes,you are correct. We are getting the calves from a friend who is helping us get started. And yes, I think I would be a little upset if I found out that the calves I raised and weaned were immediately take to the sale.

The horses will be separate from the calves if we even keep them through the winter, which I am going to strongly suggest that we take the calves to the sale after we purchase them. And I know how to manage horses on small acreage, they were on three acres (rotational system) and they did...

The horses will be in the same pasture but they will be fenced off from the calves.

I think next week we are going to start fencing and setting up the different pastures for rotation. And I agree that everything needs to be set up and ready for them when they get there. I know they need a salt block, should we get those big molasses mineral tubs? Or are the mineral block...

I have gotten a lot of good suggestions on what we could do with these calves. I want to raise them through the winter, take them to the sale barn in the spring. We have discussed making the bull calf into a steer, keeping him and taking him to the butcher. Not knowing the exact breed of these...

I am sorry I haven’t been answering questions at a quick pace. Life for us is extremely busy. Believe me I have posted several times and have done my best to answer all questions.

Yes, just the three calves. They are going to be weaned in October. I would like to casterate the bull calf, raise him and use him as meat. The girls I d would like to just take them to the sale, reason being not sure the breed.

October is approaching at a quick pace at which we will be picking up the calves. I think we are going to keep them through the winter. So, my question is, I am assuming that they will be alright on the pasture and hay. Should we supplement them with a supplement or a feed of some sort...
