[QUOTE="Roger/OH, post: 268239, member: 273"] My son and grandson want to purchase 2 Jersy bull calves. The cost of the calves is $30 each. They will bring them out here and I will probably have to all the work. They promise they will help, but we all know how long that will last. I told them $40 per month per calf. I don't really want them and arrived at this based on no pasture and at the finishing stage. We have do have pasture. Is this reasonable to where I won't lose money? If they slack on the chores, I can and will haul them to the sale barn. Feed costs at present: $2 per bale hay 1st cutting $2.30 per bushel corn $1.50 per bale straw. 2 bags milk replacer @ $23 per bag One of trhe first calves I raised was a Jersy bull calf. I did not cut it and it turned mean after about 14 months. Pinned me against the wall several times. Had to carry a pipe with me when feeding. He made the next available opening at the arbitrator. These will be steered. Should I have that problem with them? [/QUOTE]
