[QUOTE="snake67, post: 984089, member: 17764"] Factoring in risk, milk replacer costs, time and effort, potential additional vet costs - in my personal opinion I would probably sell the calves and take the money. Keep those animals for 6-8 months and you still do not REALLY make money. That cheque you get is a false profit - unless your time is nothing Throw the cow out on grass and be done with it until next time. Your life will be better and there will be more time to devote to other areas on the farm If she does come around on the next calf she might be a keeper - if not fatten her and put her in the freezer. Easier to look at her on a daily basis than to get into feeding and handling every day for weeks. Best to all Bez [/QUOTE]
