[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 644502, member: 7509"] Personally I think selling the pair to an unsuspecting stranger is not a good idea. Why not just keep them both for awhile. The calf will eat more grass soon and maybe take some milk from another cow as I had happen last year. When the calf gets close to weaning time just either process the heifer for beef (before she gets much older) or sell her for slaughter. Same for the calf - sell as a feeder or raise it and process. Don't let those bad milk genes go any further. Letting her be sold to someone as a potential breeder is not best for the breed nor your reputation. jmho. [/QUOTE]
