[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 23701"] We creep feed all of are calves every year. It pays for itself when you are running more cows than you have pasture for. We buy are creep from the local feed store and they have a very good product. The creep feed we buy has built in roughage inhibitors to prevent the calves from overeating. We wean 750lb calves at 6 months of age. Our cows also stay in the same condition year around and don't seem to get to thin from the calves nursing. There is also one more great benefit from creep feeding, when we wean our calves and put them into a different pasture, we move the creep in take off the sides and fill it up, and put in a bale or grass hay. We found that they wean a lot easier by not having to look for feed to keep them content. They usually only bawl for a day or so and never go off feed, and after a couple of weeks for ajusting, we limit feed them into a bunk, and with creep feeding they come bunk broke to. [/QUOTE]
