[QUOTE="cowgirl Ibara, post: 444525, member: 6625"] Will you be saling them at 2 weeks old it sounds?? The prices we have up here for 2 week olds is around $200 and the 1 day olds are $50. The farms up here charge you for ever day the calf stays on the property since they are feeding and managing. Well if your saleing them off as bottle babies you can either milk the mom and feed the calves the first day off a bottle using mama's Colostrum. Or have the calves nurse right off mom. Big producers bucket or bottle feed thier calves because mom is used for milk production and the calves butt the udder. This could cause damage to the udder resulting in mastitis. But like Holly Heifer said milk replacer is really expensive now and if you will have the calves a couple of weeks they should be started out on a replacer. But putting them on a bottle isn’t hard at all. Once they get their mouth on the nipple, up and off they go. [/QUOTE]
