Do they still have dairys that sell truck loads of baby calves down through the Midwest?
I bought 10 30yrs ago from a ad in SF that came from Wisc. I lived in NE Kans then and the truck brought them to St Joe Mo where I picked them up in a rain with my 47 Chevy pk. Don't know how many he had started with, but he had yet a few in the truck when I left.

Yeap there is still custom calf farms around. One buys from the sales barn. The other from the milking parlors. These heifers are out of our own herd. We have a lot of red and whites. 30+ yrs ago we started crossed colored breeds to get better grazers and higher components.

Hello,

Would you happen to be the fella that had white park/jersey heifers for sale on here last year? I would love to get my hands on one of those

How much do you want for the white park bull calf, and how old is he?

Nice to see another cheesehead on here

Just wanted to update this. Sold the 11 small heifers. They averaged right at $200 before trucking and commission. 185 red and white bull calf $117.50 per hundred. The heifers mostly hit the 85-100 per hundred mark.
Thanks
Bob
