[QUOTE="chester1977, post: 1104897, member: 15185"] I am in the Shenandoah Valley of VA and there is a gentlemen that sells calves that he says are weaned, off of milk replacer, and only eating hay and grain at 8 or 9 weeks old. He posts on craigslist a few at a time. I called him today about these that he had listed for my friend that has 5 fenced acres behind his house to see if he would be interested, but he had already sold them. He told me that keeping them longer than 8 or 9 weeks hurts his profit margin, and he has 300 cows ready to calve and he does better to get rid of them early. I am not familiar with this strategy and was looking to see if any of you worked a similar strategy? Would you buy calves that young?
