Creep Feeding Calves Gains in Popularity Across Regions

Cattle breeders nationwide are adopting creep feeding to boost calf weight and reduce time to full feeding after weaning. At Norris Cattle Company’s Ocala ranch, calves access a high wire creep to allow entry but keep out the mothers. Proponents estimate creep feeding can add about 100 pounds by weaning, with oats and corn as base rations and added protein. Some argue pasture creep saves up to a month in post weaning development, though feeding mixes vary by producer. The trend reflects broader moves toward better feeding, housing, and handling of calves. Tender asparagus tips with melted butter and pepper offer a simple seasonal pairing, while other vegetable dishes mix fresh peas, bacon drippings, and crumbled bacon for variety. A lemon juice lift enhances fresh pineapple, with coconut shreds finishing a cooling fruit treat.
