[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1740192, member: 41001"] Useing creep as a tool leading to early weaning should work well as a drought strategy. Calves are typically much more efficient on a tmr than creep. Lactating cows use a lot of energy producing milk. In good body condition cows use a lot less energy. So if you can keep your cows in good rig going into winter you can use cheaper feed and less feed to maintain them. Also, I would look into salt limited high protein creep for the calves depending on what is available in your area it may make more sense. [/QUOTE]
