My uncle wants to sell me a heifer calf 10
months old orphan momma died during birth
this is brangus calf very undersize for his age
do u think this would b a good buy

10 months old he should have been on his own for 3 or 4 months already. Sounds like a project animal. Do you have time for a project and what is his asking price

I don't know about it being a project.but if it is 10 months old and very undersized then she is probably stunted. if she is you won't make any money feeding her and she won't ever make a very good cow.What do you think she weighs now?

 

[bmcdonald]

She around the 300 to 400 lbs range for 300$
my question is will she ever be a full size cow

If you want it, have him give it to you. Otherwise buy another calf (much younger) for your money. In the end of the day, I doubt that it will develop into a useful cow.

chances of her becoming a full size cow are real slim at this stage
