[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 536285, member: 3162"] With a dairy nurse cow I raise 8 calves a year. Some folks go more. I let mine nurse longer than most. One calf is out of the cow and I now have one that was an orphan out of my own herd. I "overfeed" the cow, if you want to call it that. [b]That last feed cost for a 4 calf cycle was $220, prorated to $55 per calf and that was sacked feed and not bulk since I do it here at the house.[/b] When you have nurse cows and calves, you have to "meddle" twice a day. It is time consuming but very profitable overall. [/QUOTE]
