[QUOTE="chambero, post: 300242, member: 4012"] If that is your real budget, you might want to think about some type of other animal. You can't get a good salebarn calf for $400, let alone something that is respectable for showing. $800-$1000 is probably the very low end for a respectable show calf. As others alluded to, the cost of the calf is only part of the overall cost. You'll wind up with around $1000 in feed, hay, water, etc. Not to mention the hours involved. Other animals like pigs and sheep don't require quite the financial investment calves do. Make some money there so that you can afford a respectable calf. [/QUOTE]
