[QUOTE="Craig Miller, post: 1333951, member: 19296"] Auburn did a test with some calves given creep feed and some not. They LOST money on these calves that were creep fed. I'm not talking about a little bit either. I can't find where I wrote it down but it was something like $85 per head lost. Has anyone done a similar test and have numbers to show proof of money gained or lost on creep feed? I figure most have just took for granted that creep feed makes money. They took the same calves that were not creep fed and fed them for two months with the same feed starting at weaning. Took them to a precondition sale and made more money on them even though they sold in November after prices started falling. What's yall take? [/QUOTE]
