[QUOTE="Bez, post: 96864, member: 412"] Wow - people dumping money on the side of the road. Suspect that is really unusual. Look - 7 large dairies produces a lot of calves. Suspect the help from them - if that is where you think it might come from - will be scarce. You want to start by visiting your vet and asking for the "needle" regime you need to get them on. Then price out all your equipment and feed costs. Then plan on lots of deads - plus disposal costs. Can't feed them all to the coyotes. get your facilities in order - lots of work there - and cost. Be ready before you bring 'em on board. Then you need to visit your dairies and tell them you are in the market - they can contact you directly for pick up. If you think those that are throwing the calves away are about to come up your drive you might be in for a disappointment - unless they come up looking for money. Sounding negative, but .... This is a tough game - hope you have a fairly large wallet. Bez [/QUOTE]
