[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 400246, member: 1715"] Substitution occurs when the cattle eat less grass because you supplement them with something like grain. Negative associative effects are when the rumen bugs get messed up by a dose of starch. Bottom line is it hard to make creep feeding pay unless grain is very cheap (like two years ago), there is not much grass left in the pasture (so there is no substitution), or the value of gain is very high (like on light calves). I am supplementing light calves this year. I supplemented them all last year but I was using $1.60 corn... [/QUOTE]
