[QUOTE="A.J., post: 1799414, member: 13664"] Im not sure about these particular ones , but I’ve seen some Gyr and Indu cows with horrendous udders that there’s no way a newborn calf could nurse unless it was handmilked out first. I think some folks that sell them as bottle calves like this figure they can take advantage of the cute factor where there’s not a lot of them and sell them for a lot more as newborn calves than if they grew them out to weaning age. I’ve seen some advertised that were out of wild cows and sell them as bottle calves so folks can raise them and gentle them up where if they were left on their momma they would probably turn out wild like them. I don’t know how anyone could pay anywhere near that much for a bottle calf, but I see several a year advertised like this, so they must be able to sell them. [/QUOTE]
