There is no money to be made.
75lbs of milk replacer minimum to get them on feed and that stuff round here last year was 60 bucks for 50 lbs. Feeder market round here is 50 cents for a 500lb holstein steer.
Make some great eating though if you can sell the meat or for your self. Thats about the only way you could have a chance at making a buck cause the market only wants angus even though when it gets to your plate you can't tell the difference.
