[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 115111, member: 406"] Calves have been bringing a premium price at the sales ring the last few years and can be a crap shoot like stated above. One needs to hit the end of the month sale at Kist Livestock and watch if you can buy day olds or bottle calfs for around 200 and keep them healthy then you have a good shot at making money but spending much more than that with the potential to have them get sick and die cuts into things real quick when paying in the 400+ range that they have been brining. One could buy day old dairy calves for a hundred bucks or less by the truck load 5+ years ago but those days have disappeared. If one can find a local dairy close by and work a deal for their day old bull calves would be the best if you can pick them up right off their place. Wife and I have done this several times and works well, the less time and money they have to spend with them the better deal you can get. [/QUOTE]
