[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 670680, member: 3937"] The usual way is to put the creep feeder near the water, salt and mineral source where the cows will lounge around. Put the feed in and the calves will get to it when their ready. Most are nibbling at it within a month or so. Every feed store has a commercial creep feed usually pelleted and 14% protein or so. I use a custom mix so I know whats in it. Otherwise you get waste grain and screenings and who knows what? It's a good idea to have them eating well before weaning, especially early weaning. [/QUOTE]
