[QUOTE="JSCATTLE, post: 832815, member: 16648"] I creep my calves with cotton seed meal . I start them with pure meal for 2 weeks . Then slowly add salt . To around10, percent . More than 15percent can be harmful .I'm feeding 15 calves in one pasture they eating about 4 bags a week. Close to two pounds a head a day . I could back off the salt and get more gain but the cows are heavy milkers. Calves look good but. Not to fat. This works well for me but you may do your own test. When I first tested this method I took 30 pairs same bull and split them into two groups .creeped. one group not the other calves were born within 30 days . Creeped group weaned 40 pounds heavier . Average 2 pounds of consumption per head a day. Creeped for 120 days . [/QUOTE]
