I've seen a lot of calves for sale on preloved and when we get the now house (when!!!!) I would like to look into raising a couple. I'd love proper cows but we only have three and a half acres, so I wondered if anyone here raised calves, maybe not for too long either, as there are only two of us
We would keep two so they are company for one another and send them off at the same time. If they went quite early (more veal than beef) would that help avoid me needing lots of handling equipment and tb tests etc? They will be sharing the paddock with a few sheep and my horse.
