No cheap calves around here, either. They are in high demand for the 4H kids to show, must be born between Jan 1 and (I think) June 1. Fall calves some cheaper, but still well over $100 mostly.

Someone had three jersey calves, two weeks old, wanted 125 on craigslist the other day. That is just a little much I think, unless your selling that is. >Thanks Marc

We were looking for a calf to thats cheap. But here its 100-125 for bottle calves.

I did find some for $50 earlier this year but I prefer healthy animals not ones on their last leg, so I passed.

CL has had nothing cheap for calves. I always check CL.
