[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 559342, member: 3162"] The whole point for me is not about taking advantage of someone or getting around things or marketing. It is straight apples and orange comparison. The naysayers have obviously never used a dairy nurse cow. That is cheaper than buying milk replacer and better for the calf. I can take their best beef cow on their farm, split of the calf from the natural mother, put it on a milk cow, and put it on the small pasture at my house. The calf is going to get more milk and richer milk than it would otherwise. Yet they want to tell me that the calf is no good. Their logic makes no sense to me whatsoever. MM and others know the difference. The nursed calf is better off than it would have been had it stayed on its natural mother. [/QUOTE]
