[QUOTE="Hfd Cattle, post: 6009834, member: 64714"] I would far rather keep a cow and breed my own than go to market and try and buy suckler bred weanlings.....utter buffoonery of the highest order to say cows don't pay ! We buy in a lot of calves in to rear in May/June and we buy in a lot of 'dairy ' bred stores in the Autumn to over winter but the ones that pay the best are the sucklers . Have just fostered a calf onto a heifer which lost one, and though the calf is a good one ,it will never make the grade of the others in the group that are suckler bred ! .....good job we don't all take the view 'cows don't ' pay else it would be all Dairy bred calves and they would be a premium. If a cow costs £2.50 a day to keep then it's not the cow enterprise that need looking at its the business ! [/QUOTE]
