[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 225492, member: 2862"] I don't mean to sound facetious, but if you've never used a creep feeder, how would you know its useless? I plan on creep feeding my commercial feeder calves this year for a few reasons: 1) Average weaning weights in this region went up 125 pounds after creep feeding. Total cost of the oats, per animal, was about 35 bucks. 2) Our June-August grass is largely water, so its tough on the cows and calves. A little creep helps take some stress off the animal, both cow and calf. 3) Ease the stress of weaning. I don't feed my commercials a heavy oat diet, but its still going to help when I wean if they're used to seeing a couple lbs of oats everyday. Rod [/QUOTE]
