A calf can be sold when he is only a day or two old. But this is highly unrecommended, because of the high stress these baby calves go through, which can lead to sickness, injury and even death. A calf that has been weaned off the bottle at 3 months of age has a better chance of surviving his ordeal at the stockyards than a two day-old calf. Six month old calves that have been weaned off their mothers have an even better chance than 3-month old or two-day old calves do. So it all depends on when you want to sell, if you have the heart to let them go.

How much can you sell a calf for?
That all depends on the age, weight, condition and type (beef or dairy) of calf. Are you referring to baby bottle calves, or feeder beef calves that have been weaned? 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.

Do cows have bulls for babies?
Yes. The only thing is that this "bull" is actually called a bull calf: the "calf" part of "bull" is dropped after the calf reaches around yearling age (~9 to 10 months of age).
