I was planning on raising calves on bottle for others and didnt know how it worked out if calves died. I know I wouldn't be paid for them but what if they already paid half up front any ideas Sent from my iPhone using Cattle Forum
There should be a clause in the contract negating you of any responsibility provided it wasn't from negligence. Did you sign your contract yet?
Sometimes if we have a bottle calf that we don't sell, and a neighbor has a cow that lost a calf, we will send the calf to them to raise on their cow. When the calf is sold the money from it is split 50/50. We paid to produce it while the other paid to raise it which for the most part equals out. If it dies, we're both out. That's how it works around here. www.calving2014.wordpress.com
