    Bottle calf

    Hello,
    Guys I'm looking for a bottle calf for my son for the Bucket calf show in October. He's 3, and I need a calf born on or after June 1st.

    Let me know if you have some info !

    Looking to spend around 250 - 400 depending what breed the calf is.
    Thanks

        ....sometimes giving birth..We had ranch across street (not ours) and ranch rider would always bring us (several a year)newborn that mom had died and give them to us...He said they would die cause they did not have time to care for them. It was really a Fun Learning exp. to be Mom...

          We have had 3. The last one would run with the dogs when I threw them bumpers. I'm not saying the calf cared about fetching he would just run with the dogs.

              We're showing our first one this year at our county fair. We called an order buyer friend of ours and he was able to get us one in a couple of days. Let me know if I can help you with locating one.

                  In this category yes, bucket calf is what they call it. Basically just to start the kids to learn responsibility with the animal and to form a bond with the calf.
