[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 50453, member: 60"] No matter what anybody says, calves is calves -- I raise just as many beef calves as I do dairy calves, and they're all raised exactly the same way. It's great to be able to leave a calf on his mama or on a nurse cow until he's 205 days old, but it's a lot cheaper to put real food into a calf than it is to put milk replacer in him. Where most people have problems early weaning is with the calves not getting enough protein, so they end up potbellied. My early weaned bottle/bucket beef calves look just as good and sell for just as much as, if not more than, the calves that are fresh off of mama. Ann B [/QUOTE]
