4H calves

Kato,
Would getting a heifer be your kids first experience with an agricultural subsidy program? It could be countervailable?
Thinking back I got my share of interest free loans and subsidies along the way (Thanks Mom and Dad).

We have some kids in our club all from the same family that show up at weigh day in early December with the roughest and generally smallest calves of the club. They have them on corn silage supplemented with barley and hay. Guaranteed one of those calves will win ADG for the club and usually the fair. No implants are used!

For our club we have 13 calves our highest gain 2.64 per day. What did your calves sell for per lbs? We feed barley,oats,alfalfa mixed hay till May and then start with ration.
