More calves require little more labor in feeding study
A University of Minnesota study of 59 cattle farms in the southern part of the state found that a farmer with about 30 feeder calves can raise the herd to 40 or 50 with only modest extra work. Thirty calves required roughly seven hours of weekly labor, and each additional 10 head added about 50 minutes of chores per week, plus about 7.14 hours more over the feeding period for manure and related tasks.
