[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1582885, member: 5381"] Your plan seems fine to me. With small calves you can get by with much less expense for handling facilities not to mention truck and trailer. I would think your only big risk would be a sickness that effects the whole herd but thats the same for anybody and any size animals. You seem to be doing the right things ti minimize that risk. It would be nice if you can find a source for calves besides a sale barn which I assume is where you are buying the animals. Maybe also look around for a buyer that knows your program and avoid sale barn costs when selling. They are the perfect type and size to go to a grazer. [/QUOTE]
