[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 478292, member: 1346"] We creep fed this year, first time we've done that. The pasture just simply was not there. Nutrena Rendition (I think that was it) with AS700........ buy 8 bags get 2 free so we bought it by the ton and got an additional discount. They had that sale for about six months. The calves have done well and were more filled out, but we planted wheat this past fall in the cornfield and in spring we'll plant orchard grass mix so we can use it for grazing next summer after the wheat is harvested. I'm also hoping I can find some pasture to rent. I also did some search on it and found out the same that MikeC is saying, creepfeeding helps marbling. We're keeping a few back to fatten to butcher and we'll find out then if that is true. If you have plenty of pasture, no, I wouldn't do it. But if you don't then its an alternative. If you intend to keep your calves to butcher then yes I would consider doing it every year. [/QUOTE]
