[QUOTE="sheep&cows&stuff, post: 6385002, member: 43682"] Here were my estimations: Purchase - £250 Milk - £80 (2 x bags of milk replacer) Meal - £160 (1kg of meal per day for 2 years average) - Assuming meal £210 per tonne plus a little bit Straw - £20 - (I purchase 6x3x2 bales £10 each. 1 bale to bed calf when small and 1 bale to bed when she is calving at 2 years old) Silage - £120 - (8 bales at £15 each made at home) Dosing - £50 - including BVD Land - £100 (1 acre per year old calf) Total - £780 Now - if a man could buy a beef bred heifer calf at a mart for £400 - Then when he goes to sell it with a calf at foot it could be worth a lot more (£1600+) - however it is hard to find such calves.
