[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 268241, member: 539"] Wait a minute! :o You're son and grandson want to buy 2 bottle babies, so why are you the one who is going to have to feed them? If my son and grandson wanted bottle babies they would be feeding them, I wouldn't! I would provide guidance, and help them with proper nutrition, how/when to feed, health problems/illness, etc, but they would do the work. Should they prove to not be up to the task, the calves would go to the salebarn - period, end of discussion. I would also be willing to help them out with the purchase price (notice I said [u]help[/u], I did not say buy the calves for them), as well but, if the calves were sold because of their inability to live up to the responsibility required, they would also be paying me back/working off their debt to me. I would also be banding/castrating these calves at about a month, maybe 2 months of age depending on their temperament. As far as hay, etc - I pay Dad 1.00/day for feeding my bucket calves along with his calves - .50/day if I do the feeding and use his hay/ground hay. I always buy my own grain when my calf/calves are penned separate from his. [/QUOTE]
