[QUOTE="1848, post: 72578, member: 1303"] It does if they take off for being creep fed it in the calculations. Most people will feed their calves in one way or another anyway (leftovers, cubing the cows, licks, etc.) It gives honest breeders a way of reporting (choices) how they manage their calves, and dosen't assume everybody will just wean on grass. There are several selections purebred breed assoc.'s offer during reporting for how young calves were managed up to weaning. Drought conditions or extended winters in some regions can also make creep feeding necessary. All breeders do not have unlimited pasture resources to get their calves to their market size at the time they need to without supplementation. Some assoc. will let you turn in weights starting at 140 days which will give a more accurate account of what the moma has done to milk out the calf, before the calf's weight can be to far skewed by feeding.
