[QUOTE="SixBucksADay, post: 716251, member: 13369"] Creep feeding will take some burden off the cow and you should see a difference in condition, all variables being equal. Creep feeding calves can be expensive, but if you have a market for high quality carcass calves it can pay. Early creep feeding high energy, solid food to your calves will inspire early lipocyte cell formation in the inner-muscle (the earlier the better). It is especially beneficial in the cattle genetically predisposed to developing IMF (where you want fat). It's just my opinion and experience, but unless you have a predestined market, ready and willing to pay you a premium for your carcass merits, you will probably be spending money you won't recover.
