[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 453237, member: 3162"] Many of us do. In my youth I swore to never run cattle. Here I am. Never say never. The nurse cow thing is not my idea. It is old school. A twice a day commitment, wet or dry, cold or hot, those babies have to eat. There is a lady here who runs nurse cows. She's done it for years. She's a sweetheart of an old gal. Occasionally someone will have a really nice registered calf and have something go amiss. They'll pay her to raise that calf for them, rather than put it on a bottle. She has a bit of acreage but not all that much. She maintains it very well. All in all, she produces many more steers than some of the medium size ranches around. Her heifers have been let in and out of pens, twice a day, for about three months. Most turn out to be extremely gentle critters, easy handling. Lots of folks recommend those heifers to newbies. All the vets around know her well. She is a true guru on bottle calves and such. [/QUOTE]
