Hello all, I just found this site today while looking up info on bucket calves.
I am from NE iowa , I grew up on a grain and beef farm here. I have had a heard of 15 angus cows and an angus bull. for the most part I have gotten out of the farming and I have them more for a hobbie around here. But I am thinking of getting back into raising Holstein Bucket calves to 350 to 500 to sell. I have raised around 300 this way. but the last time that I did this was 13 years ago. I have gutted the milk stantions out of the barn at my place and have put pens in. but haven't got any calves yet.
I was wondering if anyone has any imformation orsites that have information on raising bucket calves.
