[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 225632, member: 2308"] That is the truth Rod, when you are telling someone what you think should be done, you should be considering what the environmetal differences are between you and that person!! It is like telling those of us in the northern US and Canada that we should not be feeding cattle in the winter, it just won't work for us, we would likely have starved cattle!! As well, saying "don't creepfeed" is very similar to saying "don't implant or deworm" after all all 3 of those practices (are supposed to) help a calf to gain "more " weight than the cow would have done by herself! We have creepfed our calves before, and while it doesn't make the cow any better of a cow, if you can put $30 into a calf and get $100+ out of it why not go for it!! We run the majority of our cattle on Crested Wheat and by the first of August that stuff is pretty much dried out, by creepfeeding you can ease the load on the cow (especially heifers) and add weight to the calf, as well as ease the load on the pasture.
