[QUOTE="Arancher, post: 23106, member: 241"] I guess the first thing that comes to mind is the calf that you recieved is a heifer. With the little i know about you set up, the first thing is to see about the calf. Make sure it gets all the nourishments it needs.Go to a vet there are med. especially for babies to help jump start. With only this one calf i wouldn't get to attacheded and raise it until app. 7 to8 months old and then sell it and perhaps buy a breed heifer are cow to replace it. This would hold off the need for a bull or A I exspenses for awhile. I know it will be hard not to get attached but your looking to turn over from one to two as quickly as possible. After the cow has a calf and at weaning age sell both of them and buy 2 preg cows and so on.You will have to put out a little on each transaction but what you will save on a bull will offset the extra cash.Good look and don't get discouraged.
