Your son has got the right idea. Be sure to encourage him and be sure to keep your "good" neighbor involved.
This will be something he will remember forever and hopefully have fun doing the work involved.
When I was about your son's age, my dad made a deal with a small local dairy to buy the newborn calves for $10.
There were ten calves that were my responsibility to feed every day with some type of "powdered" milk for calves.
I mixed the "milk" in 1 gallon aluminum army surplus buckets. Took the mixing spoon and "banged" it against the buckets and the calves would come running.
Put the buckets on the ground and the calves would drink from the buckets. When the bucket were nearly empty, the calves would kneel down on their front legs to try and get more milk.
After the buckets were empty, they will throw their heads back and "fling" the buckets into the air. Funniest thing I ever saw, in fact I'm laughing right now.
Those ten calves helped build our small herd that continued through the years until my father sold out about 5 years ago.
