Finishing Dairy Bull Calves.

Anybody out there in the bussiness of finishing dairy bull calves? I picked up a few bull calves a few months back and have them on pasture now.

Hey there, Im Nick Zumbragel of Zumbragel farms in northern illinois, Im the only Zumbragel left in agriculture. Currently im working for a good friend of mine doing custom applicating and helping to run the grain side of the farm. I farmed a few acres but right now ive been going thru a divorce so that makes a big difference as too what i can do at the time being. I am working on getting a set of buildings and running a dairy herd thru it. Thats about all i can think to say about me right now lol, any questions just message me!
