[QUOTE="Hillary_Indiana, post: 52540, member: 521"] I bought a black heifer calf (I'd guess it to be about four months old) at a sale barn last week. I've had her for about a week now. She acts very healthy. I have been giving her hay and a some cracked corn every day which she consistently munches on. I turned her out in the pasture today to graze. What a cutie! I've always wanted my own calf! We're gettin another one this tuesday and that's another question...should I put them together right away or wait a week or two. Say she's four months old right now, when would be the best time to sell her for $$ purposes. We're keeping one to butcher, and just selling the other when it gets big. My dad is letting me raise it. He pays all expenses. I do all work. I get the end money. I think I'm supposed to learn responsibility but I love it. I live in South-central indiana. Any advice would be great! 1. Do I need to give this calf any kind of vaccine? All other animals on our farm are assuredly healthy. 2. When do I worm it? 3. Does it need a salt block? 4. Any other advice would be appreciated! I have access to Tractor Supply, so any specific named products that I can get there would be great. :cboy: Hillary [/QUOTE]
