Hello!! This is my first time posting on this site. I'm from Eastern Ia. I love this site! I'm a small producer who still bucket feed my small calve till they are around 750lbs and then start pushing them. Once I get them to full feed I put them on self feeder. This has been working out fine for my operation. I don't have the numbers to buy a TMR $$$. I Creep my calves with mix feeling. My weaning weights are great but they can get a bit fleshy. With Genetic improvements my larger framed cattle are weaning the kind of calves I like to see. This works on the right kind of cattle here.
I would like to know from people around the Country their thoughts on Creep feeding. We use a Corn Gluten/Corn ration with some extra's.
