Investigations by the agriculture department show raising a heifer to age two costs about 61 dollars, meaning farmers may lose money unless the animal is worth over 60 dollars at two years. Early calf care, feeding, and sanitation are urged to maximize future value. Calves should receive mother's milk, be weaned by day four, and fed regularly with a gradual shift to skim milk and grain balanced with hay. Water should be always available from two weeks old.
