Inexpensive Creep Feeder

Inexpensive Creep Feeder LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 30-4-33 "I wanted to save some money and use equipment I already had. That's why I turned a covered gravity grain wagon and a few gates into a creep feeder," says Joe Mattingly, Raywick, Ky. By attaching two gates and a sorting panel to the wagon and blocking off the grain chute with a 4 by 4, calves have access to feed while the mothers don't. Mattingly says this setup does the work of a $2,500 creep feeder. "It's an economical way to add pounds of beef," he says.
