This depends on the age of the calf. If it is at a young age (~6 months) it shouldn't be too fat, but it shouldn't be too thin either. Most feeder cattle should have a body condition score between 5 and 7 (on an American BCS scale of 1 to 9). This condition is where you should be able to feel fat over the tail head and ribs and not see much of the bone structure. Calves shouldn't be too fat, they should be within a BCS scale of 5.5 to 6.25; finisher cattle are more towards a BCS scale of ~7.

How much can you sell a calf for?

It is that kind of information that is needed to be able to answer this question. A bottle calf can be sold for as little as $10, and a beef calf that has been weaned that weighs around 600 lbs may go for as much as $500 to $800 (sometimes more) depending on current prices.
