We have a calf, she was an orphan calf. She will be 2 this spring, about the size of a 7 month old calf. She is just starting to gain weight. She is costing about .75 cent to feed and not with the diesel to take to the sale. She may have been a twin and could be infertile. On the other hand our children feed her bottles can't sell her now. Maybe one day but they are young. They understand older cows go to sale but not the baby calf they bottle feed thats still a baby calf. I can't do it, I'd cry a river.
