Creep grazing weanlings

blue5000

Just wondering if anybody has any good ideas for creep gates. I don't want to just lift a wire, and I find with a creep feeder it's only a few calves that use it. Oh ya, and I don't want to spend a fortune on gates either:o

What works and what doesn't? How do you get calves started?
Thanks.

seperate the cows and calves for afew days and give the calves some sweets and nice grass, they will remember after a few days whats up when you call them

Farmer Pudsey

A bucket fed calf running with them will bring them out under wire to nuts or through a gap. You can then feed/head how much you want. Fence off a corner of the field after a while and feed nuts/ration there. The bucket fed calf will bring them where ever you want.

Western Pomise

Would agree with Farmer Pudsey.....for next year....get them eating a few calf pencils in the spring before you let them out and that helps a lot.

just do it

Does a strand of electric write 1m high work to keep the cows back?
