[QUOTE="Devin, post: 36291, member: 366"] I rolled some hay for a neighbor and gave him some extra that I had. He is a dairy farmer and is wanting to give me 8 -10 baby bull calves (few days old) for payment. I have raised bottle calves before, but just one or two at a time. How much stall space would they need if I needed to keep them inside? The only thing I have open is a 20x30 building. How long would you reecommend keeping them on milk replacer? Beef calves are selling for over $100.00 apeice here in KY. What do yo all think these dairy bull calves (Jersey and Holstein)would be worth in your area. I really don't want to do it but he is pretty insistant. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Devin [/QUOTE]
