[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 225829, member: 2862"] I understand what you're trying to say WORanch, but a calf on creep won't go to the cow as often. I've watched 4 weight calves on creep feed wake up from a snooze, look around, and head straight to the creep feeder. Maybe they won't do it everytime, but they'll still do it enough that the cow doesn't need to milk as heavy. A calf can only eat so much in a day. If 50% of that is grass/oats and 50% milk, its much less than 20% grass/80% milk. Its far more efficient to stick feed straight into the calf rather than stuff it into momma, then into a calf.
