[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1772932, member: 40587"] I agree with Rafter S [USER=42895]@vanacres[/USER]. If you gonna raise two calves to eat, you won't need all of that handing facility. Just get some panels and make a little place to keep their salt in , and to feed them in. Great sale every Monday at Carrollton. There is a vet there every sale, and you can get him to work them after you buy them there at the barn. Lot less costly than taking them to a vet. What county are you in? I recommend sending in soil samples to the extension office, and then fertilizing and liming it according to the specs. This is the most cost-effective way to fertilize. You are just throwing money away if you fertilize with any mixture other than what the specs call for.
