[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1424908, member: 20599"] Had an interesting conversation recently and thought I'd get y'all's take on it. He'd heard I might have some registered Angus for sale and called to inquire whether we might have a bull calf. I told him we always have steered them but that we have calves due soon (to a great AI sire, and the daughters we've seen are very nice) and (assuming we get a male) maybe we would be willing to see how they grow for a bit, and he could see if he's interested. I was a bit taken aback when he responded that he'd like to buy one just a few days' old and bottle raise it. He didn't mention a price; we didn't get that far as I have no intention of taking a newborn off a mother. But I'd be willing to bet he thought a hundred dollar bill (or less) would be fair. I mean, I've got that in AI costs alone. How many different kinds of crazy is this? (a). None. Sure, give him a newborn calf to possibly kill, at your loss (and the calf's, and his for that matter). (b) At least 1 kind of crazy, to wit:_______________________ (c) More than one kind of crazy. (I'm leaving space for you to elaborate): __________________________________________________________________________________________________ [/QUOTE]
