[QUOTE="gerardplauche, post: 493893, member: 7497"] Be ware of the cheap calves at auction. They tend to have bad genes that start to reveal themselves around 500#. Either that or they are sick. Be sure to give all shots the day of purchase. On average, I pay around $0.90/lb at purchase, and I feel I should be buying better quality still. Try looking at local mills for quantity feed. You may be able to get something for $0.10/lb rather than feedstore prices at $0.16/lb. Good luck. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
