[QUOTE="CG1, post: 1609995, member: 38577"] Personally I love raising bottle calves. I’ve never lost one but I have put more money into one than they were worth. You can pick up a dairy cross angus around here for $50-$200. I also keep connected to local ranchers and take in the orphans they can’t handle or they can’t get on a bottle. They come free. But raising a bottle calf for the freezer is tough. I get way too attached to the bottle calves. I sell mine at about 8-12 months old. I get a good price for them. I never sell by weight, I sell most at around $1,500-$2,000. Some people feed them out, some process. By biggest customers are small hobby farmers that just need a very calm animal. [/QUOTE]
