[QUOTE="Roger/OH, post: 135935, member: 273"] The 2 Grandkids joined 4H and want to do a beef project. I won't have the money to purchase club steers for them to do a market steer project and thinking about a Dairy Feeder project for them. The farmer I buy hay from buys calves from dairy farmers and raises them out. He says the dairy feeders should weight 600 to 700 Lbs by fair time. If I were to purchase calves from a dairy farmer, when should I purchase them to have them at 600 to 700 lbs. by September 1st? My boss's son-in-law is a dairy farmer and I plan to talk to him about getting a calf. He does all AIing and it would be a Holstien. Does Holstien EPD's contain rate of growth? Is that something a dairy farmer is concerned about? I know it is to late for this year, but next year maybe offer to buy him a couple of straws of a good growth rate bull if all he is concerned with is freshening his cows? [/QUOTE]
