[QUOTE="panhandle_rancher, post: 72382, member: 1380"] Hello all. My husband told me once that buying your heifers from the sale barn means your buying someone elses 2nd best heifers....every year we keep 15-40 of our own...depending on how many we have....I enjoy raising my own animals.... I have a question for anyone who can answer...last year I tried raising bucket calves...(started buying them to put on the cows that lost calves, bought too many and got stuck with um)...they all got sick at one point and never really recovered....needless to say 2 out of 6 are getting raised for butcher cause they didnt fit the herd...anyone have any advise on how to raise a better bottle fed...the only tip I know is to keep them on green grass like everything else. :?: i'd like to say our herd is perfect.....but that would be a lie.....now we have some great cows, good bulls, pretty decent genetics but you know where our herd got into trouble....buying "one hit wonders" from the sale barn...boughten cows are just a band aid..thats what I think.
