[QUOTE="mjnetex, post: 783805, member: 13948"] I raised about 250 mostly dairy cross, some straight dairy calves on bottles and nurse cows, and I know I don't have the knowledge to look at a calf and tell if it will be a money-maker or money-loser, even after that, there are people that do, but it takes experience and learning from people with experience. Verrrry easy to lose money. The Brahma-Holstein and Brangus-Holstein did the best for me, of course the Holstein heifers made money. Some of the straight Holstein steers did okay, some didn't. Also, you also never know for sure whether they got their colostrum or not if you weren't there! And you can work yourself to death trying to save a sick one. But these were babies. [/QUOTE]
