[QUOTE="Bossfarmer, post: 6812305, member: 44492"] the concern with selling suckled calves is that unless you push them hard with protein etc then theyll struggle to do much more than cover the cost of the cow for the year, keeping them on to over £1000 a head seems sensible as theyre already settled into their environment and will put weight on quicker than if moved to another holding, also the cost of feed from pushing the calves on, if they eat half a tonne of feed at 230/t it soon adds up [/QUOTE]
