Due to the drought I am considering creep feeding in order not to stunt very good genetics. The calves are about 6 weeks old right now.
Any suggestions on creep rations for calves this young? My cattle are not grained at all so calves aren't used to run up when they see me. I need a very palatable ration to get them started without risking digestive upsets in the young calves.
I have a little aflfalfa hay left, corn can be bought, but is expensive, no other small grains except wheat midlings is still to be found anywhere close. How should the corn ideally be processed for calves this young?
Any one with experience?
