    Hi all. I am trying to reduce grazing groups on the farm. I have one group of sheep at the moment and their lambs are getting creep, in one of them green Cormac creep feeders. Anyhow, I was thinking of moving them with the yearling cattle as they are getting the best grass regularly, but the cattle would knock over the creep feeder to get the nuts. I was thinking If I could get four creep gates and make a pin around the creep feeder itself that would work. Anyone do anything similar or any other suggestions?
