[QUOTE="SEC, post: 228717, member: 3241"] I don't have a lot of use for creep feeding cattle. It doesn't me that there isn't a place for it, we have steered clear. If we were to creep the generalization comes that "he creeps his calves". Secondly we wouldn't benefit from creep feeding as our calf crops are getting better and creep feeding would only break up their contemporary groups. Last year we showed a couple heifers, they were fed with the rest of the heifers up until we left for the show. Sale heifers were also included in the same group. It was excellent, no splitting calves up just feeding them like they were ours. Last fall/winter that would have meant Hay bale with 4-5lbs of pellets and they did awesome. Our heifer calves had an average of 686lbs for a 205 wt and they gained 1.5-1.8 lbs a day all winter long. But they weighed up good last fall and had a good cover of baby fat on them. We find that feeding cattle is quite easy, just don't let them go backwards on you. [/QUOTE]
