Jerry,
Trust me on this one, if you are thinking about raising a single calf/cow for personal beef, spend the money and get two, to keep each other company, sell the second calf to othersin your area as home-grown beef. this will easily pay for your calf and probably have some left over for next years model.
You ought to ventilate your mind and let the cobwebs out of it. Use this cup to catch the tiny ads:
