[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 460223, member: 55"] We have been doing a few head a year. We buy from 100 to 200 pound calves, once in a while try a smaller one. A lot of the calves we get come off cows that are going to slaughter. Be prepared for some losing some as there is a learning curve. Don't expect to get rich. On the last 20 we have raised we averaged about $.90 a day profit after expenses. That is including any losses ( 1 ), in that time frame. They take a lot of time and can go down quick. We have averaged selling at 500 pounds but been trying keeping them a little longer. It is a slow return on your money, but we do it to supplement the calves that come off cows, trying get these to be ready to ship out at the same time. Trying to fill the trailer. [/QUOTE]
