Hi all,
I've had cattle for a few years now. Only beef cattle. I see 3 calves on Craigslist that aren't too far from me but they are in rough shape. Look like they are weaned. Asking $125/head. My thought was to go get them and fatten them up and then take to the auction once they are good sized. They are jerseys. I just really feel awful for these guys… so so skinny. I do have a good sized pasture with green grass that would be quarantined from my other cattle. Once they have been wormed and quarantined for a while, when could I let my other cows with them? Is there anything that could stay in the soil and transmit to my healthy cattle?
