[QUOTE="alabama, post: 825036, member: 2218"] This may not be the answer you want but it is another way to look at it. I have tried creep feeders with attached creep gates and they have had trouble with the cows tearing them up. It seems that the cows can get too close to the feed and then push on the attached gates until the bust something. Usually when the feeder gets light and they can push the thing around. I have found it easier to use a covered feeder and a creep gate located further away. I open a gate and tie a creep gate with wire to the gate on one end and the gate post on the other. Then put the feeder 20 or 40 feet inside the pen. After that any homemade feeder will work that will keep the weather and calf out of the feed hopper. [/QUOTE]
