[QUOTE="novatech, post: 722672, member: 5494"] The first thing I think of when I see creep feeders is that the pasture is overstocked. Also when you see all those creep feeders look close to see if they are actually being used. The main thing grass fed producers do is a very good job of raising grass and I applaud them for it. You can take those same "grass fed genetic" cattle on the P poor pasture I raised some of mine on during the drought and discover that they are not the great genetics you believe they are. (I am speaking in general not about your particular cows.) So what is the difference in putting a calf on plush pasture to finish out or putting them on grain, besides the microbes in their belly? An inefficient bred calf in the pasture is just as inefficient in the feed lot. Like I said I am very willing to change my opinion on this but you are going to have to show me. [/QUOTE]
