It's a good thing we don't live too close. You and I would be having all sorts of projects.... I like those calves for their build. My son thinks I am crazy, but I really like to do the "different route" .... and dairy beef x calves are getting numerous here so that there might be a market for making up "groups" of them and selling at the one sale where there are more dairy buyers. I had a "lowline" cow I bought at a bred sale. Paid like $350 or 400 for her. Called her shorty. Built like a small tank. Bred her angus and her calves would be as tall as her at 6-7 months. Have some of her daughters in the herd and they do a good job with the calves. She finally came up open and when I checked her mouth she had 1 nub of a tooth. I would buy some more in a heartbeat even though son thinks I am nuts.....
