[QUOTE="Santas and Duhram Reds, post: 556796, member: 6712"] Reasons I would not keep a Bottle calf for seed stock: 1. Too pet like; producing an animal that can ultimately hurt you :help: 2. Too much time, investment involved to see real returns until years down the road :roll: 3. Possible reasons as to why the calf is on the bottle :devil2: 4. Difficult to determine the true performance potential the calf possesses due to the fact that it is not growing under natural circumstances. A lot of time and investment at stake to make decisions off of a hope or prayer as to what you think the calf could of would of should of. :?: 5. And all the :mad: :cry2: :drink: and :lol: along the way I know dairy cattle are done this way, one more reason I'm not in the dairy business. [/QUOTE]
