    We train one group to the creep feeder for a few weeks. We then get two screw in insulators and put them good and high at the gap and run a bit of white wire between them. We put troughs on the passage so the calves eat the meal and cows can't. Works well but does take a bit of time to get them used to it but it does allow us to use the feeder with another group of calves.
