Hi,I don't doubt that if you get in touch with the right people it will be a great venture for both parties.If you mean wet calves as in day old,I would be very very carefull.They can get scours very very easily at less than 2 weeks old,especially if you have animals coming in on a regular basis from other farms.If you could pick them up all at 2-3 weeks of age,you will be ahead of the game big time.It won't be cheap either,most/all will want individual housing till they are likely weaned,most wean them at 6-8 weeks,some go to 12.You may want to get prices on milk replacer,or what ever you are planning to use for milk,it's gotton expensive.Also calf starter is pricey now too.The first 6 months on a dairy calf is the most expensive,labour intensive of her entire life,so keep in mind it won't be cheap.But if you can come up with a fair cost recovery for you and your customer,and do a good job of it,you will likely have no problem of getting all the borders you want to over a few years.pd.
