Mid MO | We creep our calves about a month before weaning with the same feed they will be weaned on.
For 10 calves, I would see if you local coop would rent you a creep feeder. I can rent one here for $1/day but you have to buy their feed. Otherwise, if it's something you feel you need to do, buy a used one on a farm sale. But I'm cheap! Or better yet, feed the cows in troughs and let them teach the calves to eat, then wean as usual.
The thing about creep feeders, they seem to get the pudding beat out of them, especially the gates. Makes me leary of spending much money. | |
