It depends on your operation. If you run a rotational grazing set-up, you need a portable creep feeder which can be moved from pasture to pasture, this is doable but it's a pain. Not to mention, if you are rotating pastures, your calves are getting higher quality forage, therefore making creep feeding hardly worth doing for all the calves are going to gain. On the other hand, if you keep your cattle on a more permanent range, have the feed, and creep feeding set up, then it can't hurt to creep them. For years we fit into the latter category. We were feeding hay hay to the cows by mid august and creep feeding april calves by june. 3 years ago we went to more rotational grazing and quit creep feeding all together. I have noticed no significant diffence in the size of the calves at weaning time (october).
