[QUOTE="ronr, post: 162002, member: 3113"] I'm glad to see people's different opinion on this subject. Last year it paid huge for me. We were in a Drought here in Eastern Ia. last year. I had to Hay my Cows for much of July and August. I did go thru a bit more Creep but not to the extent you would think. Starting last year I started to Worm my cow's and calves in first part of July. I also have a late summer herd that I worm in October. I'm seeing the same results in both herds. The Weaning Wts. are up and the Cow's Condition is much better. I don't see Creeping as a way to subsidize poor milking Genetic's. Rather a way let that calf reach it's Genitic potential. One other thought...I'm getting short on Hay this Winter because of the Drought. Bringing my Cows into the winter in better shape has reduced my feeding needs. Now if I can just keep that dang Snow off the Ground!! [/QUOTE]
