[QUOTE="cotton1, post: 1291201, member: 14689"] Thanks for the info everybody. I am a little concerned about the coons,but fortunately we dont have any wild hogs(yet, some a few miles away). I am also wondering about the calves getting too fat/overconditioned? Was figuring on using a feed designed for calves in it, if I get one. That will be a new one on me, I have always made up feed for mama cows or growing yearling bulls or heifers. I would think the young calves need less fat, moderate protien and higher fiber. Does that sound right? Not sure now if I want to buy one or build one still. I didnt think I needed one as large as the one in the picture, but maybe I do. I have a used one located that needs some TLC due to age and rust. I just have to get time to go and look at it. Maybe this next weekend. I will update. I was advised to use whole oats for calves in a creep feeder, any experience with that? Maybe thats better or worse, I dont know. The man that suggested it says he has done it for years, and got the advise from a old friend a long time ago. I have not seen either of their calves to know.
