[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 220508, member: 852"] I've always figured it's cheaper to keep a calf on a cow than to feed milk replacer, and cheaper to pull the calf and put it on grain than to keep it on the cow. However, I've also always figured I get a better gain from calves [u]on[/u] the cow than calves [u]off[/u] the cow and on grain. You're figuring that you can raise them cheaper off the cow AND get a better gain, right? That'd be an intriuging thought, but that's different than anything I've ever figured when I check weights and then pencil out my ADGs. [/QUOTE]
