I have a pure bred horned Hereford heifer bottle calf. She is 1.5 weeks old now and I was curious what would be a reasonable price to ask for her?

Even grafting it onto a nurse cow, it would be hard for me to make a profit at that price. The benefit would be not having to milk the cow. I would have to evaluate that calf hard as a potential replacement and that is a very young age to look for a plus other than I like a lot of ear.

:nod: :nod: The bag I bought last week cost me $62.00. When I priced it around this time last year it was $82.00 :shock: . That's for a 50lb bag of Cow's Match (made by Land-O-Lakes).
I sure do miss my nurse cow.![]()
