[QUOTE="Belties R Us, post: 1186577, member: 9296"] Looking at Holsteins or maybe beef breeds but I know the beef calves will cost significantly more. So they don't gain weight quickly? I was estimating a 2 lb/day gain on them. I unfortunately do not have the money to buy cows so I will have to bottle feed by hand. I thought about maybe trying a dairy goat though. Anyone have experience with that? Tag in for our county is June 1st. Anyone showing dairy feeders is just looking to show in our county. It is the discount way to show cattle at our fair. The beef classes are super competitive and expensive to be competitive in. Most of them are in the 400lb range for fair but I don't have any idea when said calves are born. I am going to talk to a person in my club who has shown bottle calves to get a better idea on that part. Thank you all for comments so far!! [/QUOTE]
