[QUOTE="LJCB, post: 1598871, member: 38559"] We have creep fed for the past 3 years and our weaning weights the first year went up 50 pounds the first year. That year we started in September and weaned end of October and sold late November . Second year we started in July and we were 100 pounds on avg higher than non creep feed. This year it’s been out since May . Really trying to see if it’s worth the extra money to feed them. Been feeding accuration 80/20 and we do let the feeder go empty in between filling it. But right now with alittle over a month before weaning grass is getting short and have been dry they have been hitting the feeder alittle harder. We let our heifers eat as much as they want soon as they weaned we choose our replacements and they go to a cracked corn protein pellet ration with free choice hay. Never had a problem with them breeding after we slow them down over the winter. Goal is to have them 900 plus at AI then out to pasture with the bull. If I could find a readily available creep feed that cheaper than accuration I would switch but at the moment it’s to easy to have delivered. [/QUOTE]
