[QUOTE="stocky, post: 161880, member: 1150"] I pay 3.00 per 50 lb bag of pellet 13 percent creep feed and the 650 lb calves I sold last week brought 1.22 on the steers and 1.17 on the heifers. These calves were out of some old, cheap cows I bought, now I will weigh the cows out the first of March when the slaughter market is higher. I also creep feed all the calves on my permanent cattle. I feel every pound you can put on with that kind of feed/calf price ratio you are making money. Almost everyone in my area creep feeds to get the calves larger and not drag the cow down as much. The cows perform much better and last more years. If the grain goes to 7 dollars per bag and the calves to 70 cents, forget the creep feeding. It is all about making money off of the creep feed.
