[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1124657, member: 12607"] I made some GOOD money on bottle (mostly Holsteins) calves back in the mid-1980s - but had minimal illness/death loss. Made enough $$ on the steers to pay for raising a bunch of heifers, and sold them as breds for a nifty profit. Last time we fooled with any, in the late 1990s, we took a big hit with pretty high mortality from coronavirus scours - and the market tanked - 4-5cwt calves brought just about the same $$ we paid for the things as 1-3 day old calves. I don't have any intention of trying that again... [/QUOTE]
