Several years ago, when cattle were dirt cheap, one of the dairy farmers at Windthorst,Tx put a portable pen right on U S 287. He put 5 day old bull calves in it and a big sign that said FREE.
Next morning he had 7 calves in the pen!
lmaorotf!!!!!!!
right now is a poor time to get into meat cattle. prices for cow/calf pairs are making me sorry I sold out last summer!
the best bet if the idea is meat for your self is the dairy calf.
get one straight from a dairy though or be prepared to lose a few auction calves to scours.
