[QUOTE="Roger/OH, post: 268454, member: 273"] My bag of mlk replacer that I bought this summer when I thought I had a calf that mom wasn't taking care of was a 25lb of Land-O-Lajes Maxi Care.It ran me $23 24. RIght at the 1/lb. Luckly, I did not have to us it. We raised a couple of bucket calves about 10 years ago. If my memory served me correctly, it took a 50lb bag of replacer to get a calf on feed. I ain't looking at the kids making a profit, I want to make the profit from the adventure and get some free labor. Figured at $40/month the kids wouldn't profit. Didn't want to loss money myself. My grandson found the calves at the fair. I believe I paid $25 per calf 10 years ago. Son wants to raise it for his table. I think the grsndson wants a pet. Grandson should know better. The closest we have to pets are the grandkids show stock. If he wants a pet, I have a nice looking longhorn bull calf he could have and make a riding steer out of. Amen to MrGale "nasty and proud of it" The Jersy I had got out right mean. He tried to get the last lick in. Nailed me while loading. I enjoyed ever piece meat out of him. [/QUOTE]
