Question by in c: looking for information on raising dairy bull calves on dairy goats,, anyone ever raised calves on goats,?
What do you think? Answer below!
I’ve raised dairy calves for beef and veal. It can be a very profitable business. I’ve never used dairy goats, just milk replacement, but I read an interesting article on suckling dairy calves on dairy goats.
Nation, Allan. 1993. Dairy goats suckle dairy calves in Mississippi. The Stockman Grass Farmer. December. p. 1, 8.
You can probably find it online, I don’t know. If not contact your extension service and they can fix you up.
