I buy calves from dairy farms, and raise them to weaning age, before selling them to other farms. A lot of calves are usually unwanted and get turned into dog food. A lot of beef farmers are willing to pay extra for 10 week old, weaned calves.

I have never owned property, always rented small plots from larger farmers. I spent my savings on a single calf when I was 12, I built a wooden hutch with a hammer and old pallets. Sold that calf, and I could buy 4. Milk powder was expensive. I had to learn a lot about medicine. I did this in my spare time as a teenager. I never went to friends birthdays or parties, I had calves to attend to. I could handle 5 at a time, then 10. Then 20. Last year, I had 170 calves at once. In terms of labour, I can handle 200-250 at once. My biggest limitation is shelter. I need more shelter.

Last year I sold 350 weaned calves. This year I hope to sell 500-600. One of my clients is impressed with my operation, and is investing for me to build more shelters, so I can boost output. My mortality rate is below 1%, with the industry standard being 4-5%. I basically only lose calves occasionally to clostridium infection. Sick calves get special treatment, including jackets and drips.

I'm in South Africa. My income is nothing special by American standards, but pretty damn good locally. I was broke for many years, but it's going so well right now.

As a native Wisconsinite (US's dairy center) who grew up surrounded by farms, I'm proud of and applaud you, good sir. I'll be praying for good windfall for you.
