[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 167904, member: 1346"] Around here the beef bottle calves are $200 (or was two weeks ago) but the holstein bull calves are between $110-$130. To me, unless you've got a cow to put them on, the beef calves aren't profitable. I just sold a hereford x beefmaster steer, 325 pounds @ 1.77 pound (just barely broke even, with costs of milk replacer, grain and shipping him to West Plains), so I won't be having any bottle calves at that rate.
