[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 905016, member: 3162"] If you are buying a quality milk replacer and feeding it, you are going to be hard pressed to make a profit. Then you have to consider your time. That in itself is why dairy calves are so cheap. They are getting dumped. If you have no experience at this, you can end up with extremely sick or dead calves. Some people end up spending a fortune on vet bills. Nurse cows, proper facilities, and being prepared (with prescription medications) can make money. A good mentor to show you the ropes would be the best thing. Someone who can take a temp of a calf and diagnose problems - nip it in the bud. You'd get a variety on opinions on this board. [/QUOTE]
