[QUOTE="eric, post: 28393, member: 7"] If this is a fairly young calf, and it is going to be your only calf, then you will have to wait until the calf is weaned from its mama before you can take possesion of it, assuming of course that you dont want to bottle feed him. So the neighbor is probably doing you a favor by making you wait until the calf is weaned, usually around 7 months of age. There really isnt any reason for waiting a full yr to buy him, unless the neighbor wants to let him graze for free all summer and put on weight, then sell him to you at the increased weight. If you want to buy a young calf/heifer now, then just decline this offer and find another, preferably from another neighbor or out of the newspaper from somebody local. I would avoid the salebarn for my first calves, and try to establish a relationship with one of the local folks who will stay around and talk with you a little about the calves he is selling.
