[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 738042, member: 2308"] Well, there is usually a market for baby calves, especially if you are in calving season. Price depends on the year, I've seen baby beef calves sell for anywhere from $50 - $500 depending on their health,sex, size and quality. We almost always sell a few orphan or twin calves off the farm to someone who has lost one and wants to adopt a calf onto a cow. As far as someone buying to bottle feed, I don't really feel that they should buy the calf any cheaper because of [i]their[/i] plans. Check with a couple of local sale barns and see what babies are bringing there. How much Jersey is in this calf? If it is a heifer, and possible that it might turn into a milk cow for someone, there is a pretty big market in some areas for a calf like that. [/QUOTE]
