[QUOTE="mncowboy, post: 1809561, member: 13422"] increased return, make more $, turn feed into sale-able product. Hubbard Creep is currently $389 a ton or $0.19 a lb. I usually fill them near the end of the grazing season just to keep the calves from looking for something better as the grass becomes less desirable. It has also helped the transition during weaning. I was just considering putting them out earlier but if there's poorer ROI due to a younger age than I'll just wait. With grain commodities all over the board (locally Dec corn dropped from $5.69 cash on the 21st to $4.97 cash today) I think its worth looking at and deciding at what price (both feed and feeder) its worthing pushing them harder. I agree a cow should raise a calf on her own but if there's money to be made increased gain due to creep, its still money made. [/QUOTE]
