Calf Areas, Pens or Pastures: A Case Study
AEN-143: Calf Areas, Pens or Pastures: A Case Study
Authored by: Steve Higgins
Abstract
The creation of a creep pen or pasture area can be accomplished using various methods and materials. Using what is on hand and/or revitalizing an unused area of the farm that has infrastructure may reduce expenses. The cost of one fallen calf could pay for the implementation of the practice. This practice may benefit spring calves over fall calves, so that might be a consideration when choosing a time to plan construction of your creep area.
