I have a pair of commercial breeding, twin bottle calves. They are 4 days old and taking the bottle well, one is 40# one 60#. What is a fair price to ask if the neighbors kids want them for the fair? I thought I would offer a refund if they didn't live. I tried to ask the sale barn manager where we sell everything, but he wasn't any help.

Thanks for any suggestions

(welcome) Cpubarn!

Are these holstein or beef calves?
We sold our Holstein bucket calves for $200 last year. Here they are down a little this year.

around here they bring at least $200 at the salebarn.  My little boy wanted one so bad but I'm cheap.  He now has one that was born only 49# and is struggling, so he has adopted her.  Talk aobut a happy 4 year old.  Long name though lol   its Starlight starbright the first star I see tonite!  You have to hear him call for her lol
