[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1290802, member: 16453"] That is a real nice feeder B&G, my only concern would be when you have 4 of those lovely big calves all lined up there with v little room behind them and they get a fright and all want to exit at the same time that you could get some serious damage done. I have something similar I built myself but they only can feed from the one side however I left a lot more room behind them for ease of turning around and also they can exit from the side. The towbar is on the end of the pen. I always start creep feeding about 4 weeks before weaning so by weaning time they have a taste for feed and will quickly go to the feed in between looking for their mother. I like to have them continually going forward and the keep up 1kg/day gain through their first winter and not having any setback through weaning is a good start. Ken [/QUOTE]
