[QUOTE="dph, post: 225453, member: 2112"] I agree with Mike. We usually try to get the creep feeder out in the middle of August. They really don't seem to find it until the first of September, and we will wean in the middle of October. We think it gives us a boost in weaning weights regardless of grass condition and think it pays, but we also grow our own corn. Our local nutrionist always suggested staying away from oats in the actual creep ration, although some still start them out on it, as mixed in a sweet feed, to get them in the bunk. He said it is a common creep feed ingerdient, but from a nutrition stand point, he didn't believe it did much and raised the cost of gain. [/QUOTE]
