Going price for a 3 month old Jersey bull calf?
Hi all! We have a weaned bull calf that we'd like to list on craigslist, but are unsure of what to ask. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Also, what would a 6 week old jersey calf go for? I'm thinking to market it for veal.

You might also want to post this on the barter board here. Just a suggestion since Jerseys seem very popular. If you do please be sure to post where you are.

$150-$250 depending on where you live. If it's known your getting the calf for free, just general knowlege for the area then $150 is fair....and so on.

3 month old would bring maybe $50 here, 6 week old $20-30. Assuming they hadn't been knocked over the head or given away first. Anything younger than that is free for the taking.

Was getting between 50 and 75 for month olds last month.

I live in the wrong spot I guess, I have yet to see any cheap calves, or free even. I get 100 bucks for bottle babies and 200 for weaned. mine are organic, so I get a bit more than some, but I still get it. >Thanks Marc

From an organic jersey only dairy, I can get newborns free and weaned ones for $100.
