well I promised I would give some updates as he came along.
the feed program I am useing seems to be working very well. he is healthy and eats well.
here is the good news. I got a harness for his head so I could walk him out of his shed. when I first got the harness it was lose on the smallest setting, NOW I have to use the second hole in it in order to get it done up at all. he is growing !! and growing fast!!

Just found a bull calf for $75. Thinking about following your lead.

That sounds like a deal. I was looking at some here in Missouri for $250.00.

They are weaned & on grass. Not bottle calves

What size do you want I have holteins bull calves for 75.00. and a 300 pounds jersy angus mix for 250. and I also have some fresh beef meat already package up for 3.00 a pound (angus) .

This is the email i got from her. The Angus Jersey will be the better one i think but i bet i could get them both for $300.

the 250 pound angus/jersey is a much better deal than a new calved Holstein. The mortality risk is much less on a couple month old verses a newborn calf and the angus/jersey will be a beefier animal verses the holstien which will be biger boned but much less meaty....

Thanks Bobby, That is kind of thinking of both. for the price it may be worth it.

Does anyone know how cows react to target shooting that is going on nearby?

The ones I've been around look at you, blink, moo and then just keep eating.

No wonder they end up baseball gloves!

Seriously though, they usually just don't care.
