[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1818392, member: 25884"] I have grafted holsteins onto a beef cow that has lost a calf in the past... and they do real good and look good and have grown good and continue on fine after weaning at 7-8 months or older... but that is different than what you are thinking so I agree that pulling and selling the calf instead of trying to run one real young out with the other cows even with the creep... would give you back a better return and the calf will not get that gangly, rough look. They just need that extra feed when young if they don't have access to a cow and milk for at least as long as a normal beef calf would before weaning... [/QUOTE]
