[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 715358, member: 968"] It is always cheaper to wean the calf than to creep the calf to keep the cow in condition. If you want to creep the calf for a short period prior to weaning, to get the calf adjusted to eating grain, that works great. Over long term, creep feeding lessens the burden on the cow, but is costly. Cheaper to feed the cow to put on weight & feed the weaned calf. [/QUOTE]
