[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 431893, member: 539"] If he (or the heifers) need creep feed, I believe I would be re-evaluating my choice of breed, the cows I have, or my management practices. We never needed creep for our calves to grow and develop, and they did just fine on a pound or two of grain/calf over the winter following weaning, then just grass the following spring and summer. I would not keep a bull calf with my heifers for any length of time following weaning, and I would keep a close eye on the heifers prior to weaning for indications of them cycling, as well. [/QUOTE]
