[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1623124, member: 25884"] We have often bought pairs if the price is about what the calf will be worth at say 500 lbs. I bought a few for less than 600/pr and some were older one and dones, but there were a few that were 5-8 yrs old. The one and dones, I figure that the calf pays for the pair, the cow is the "profit" when she gets shipped if she has been on grass with little extra input. Yes there is rent and all, but if you aren't putting in alot of extras, there will be some profit. I will buy some cheap breds, but a calf on the ground is worth more to me especially if you have grass to put them out on. The cow will gain, the calf will grow. Vaccinate both for black leg at a minimum, but I am getting to where I use Triangle 10 on everyone also...killed virus, cheap insurance. And since they are "new to you" WORM them. Put on grass they ought to just keep on keeping on ...... [/QUOTE]
