[QUOTE="chippie, post: 603870, member: 5644"] I don't know where you are located. The last baby calves that I bought I paid $50 and $55 for two heifers. The $50 one was a black baldy with some ear. She was silly and I sold her after a couple of months for $250. I still have the $55 one. She is Gelbvieh cross. We have Jersey cows (3 fresh) so I have a supply of milk to feed them. We have owned dairy goats, and a good milk goat is expensive. ($400 and up). One thing about owning a dairy animal is that you have to feed them well and they have to be milked twice daily. If you don't they will dry up. A good dairy feed can be expensive. I take care of the cows in the morning during the week and would like a portable milking machine for Christmas LOL [img]http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6673/happysa9.gif[/img] As far as prices go, call an auction barn in your area and ask what baby calves are selling for.
