[QUOTE="Z&J Cattle, post: 162321, member: 1876"] I can't say whether or not it is helping the calves (or the cows) because we just pulled the creep feeder that was on the farm when we bought it this year out of the weeds a few weeks ago and started using it. But, I know it will be profitable because I get the feed for free! 8) My grandfather runs about 500 feeder calves on his farm and he lets me get feed from his supply at no charge. Heck, it is not even a noticable amount for our few calves considering the amount that he goes through in a given time. But, like I said, it is free so it will have to be profitable. They don't seem to be tearing it up really though. We have 12 calves on the ground ranging from 200-500# and in the last two weeks they have eaten less than 100# out of it. Maybe the really small guys aren't using it yet at all. Zach [/QUOTE]
