[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1544405, member: 32659"] In my experience unweaned calves grow very little for the first 60 days. Feed cost should be 12 cents per pound tops to make any money. You also need to have good facilities or be handy with a horse and a rope to run salebarn calves. Go to your vet and price some of the meds you will need before you get into this, it might surprise you what Draxxin or Nuflor cost. Not trying to discourage you just need to know the cost. I would also recommend keeping any troughs they drink out of very clean so they don’t get coccidia. [/QUOTE]
