[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1568286, member: 37967"] Tough bunch, lol! I should have told y’all that the calf would stay on the momma until he was a yearling. Just joking, it would have been amusing to see the responses if I had said that. In my neck of the woods, calves are weaned off early, probably 120 days or so. They are shot up with medicine, given stress tubs to keep them relatively healthy and the rest is history. Fingers crossed they make it! Just because I do things one way and some of you do it differently is ok, nothing wrong with that. I’m not doing anyone a disservice. I play by the rules of AAA. If a calf is born and weighs 105 pounds, that’s what I report, if a weaning weight is lower than I had hoped for I report it as such. So what’s the problem, at least I’m being straight with my clients. As for creep feeding, I see lots of them around here, the Patriot with wheels and Prieferts. Why are people using them? I don’t need creep feeders to get heavy calves. Could it be that the mommas are cared for? Let’s all agree to disagree. [/QUOTE]
