$40 is good. Last year the northern dairies were pushing bull calves out in the snow to die because it costed more to haul them to the sale then they would bring. 
And Jay... I love small town life. If for any reason I could no longer manage the farm I pray that God would bless me with the opportunity to live in a small town like you describe.  |
I actually got my Jersey calf for $25 because it was pure Jersey. The mixes sold for $40. That's why I was curious that the Holstiens might fill out faster. I hope to get a few this year.
