Ok so we are going to buy milk from one of the local dairies for our baby calf(s). What is a good asking price? We are totally new to this and our neighbours, whom are all nice, may still take advantage of our naivety. I realize location will likely affect price, we are in Wisconsin if that helps. :D

It would be far cheaper to use milk replacer. You also won't run the risk of infecting your calf with Johnes disease. Many/most dairies are infected with this terrible disease. You will be fine if the milk is pasteurized.
