[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 866953, member: 3162"] Sir Loin I am with you, except I prefer the nurse cow route. When I retire I may run a dozen nurse cows and figure on 8 calves per cow per year. The only dairy I would buy would be replacements for the nurse cows. When I buy calves, I buy the beef splits. Some are a bit older but with the right facility, they graft just fine. Hunger works wonders on the graft part plus I have a crate to put the cow in. As far as the bottle calves go, If I am going to bottle feed one I may as well do several. Bottle racks and panel chutes for each calf make it simple. [/QUOTE]
