Starting calves on creep feed. Occasionally, getting calves started on creep feed can be a challenge, especially when cows are milking well and pastures are in good condition. Typically, feeding cows small amounts of ground feed a few days prior to starting creep feeding will help calves learn to consume creep.esearch has shown that creep feed conversion can range from 4:1 to 18:1 pounds of feed to a pound of calf gain. However, feed conversions are typically around 4:1 for a limited protein-based feed and 8:1 for an energy-based feed. Table 1 shows the cost of gain at various feed costs and feed conversion rates.
Nature's Way. If you do not have time to worry about feedings and milk replacer, allow the calf to stay with his mother. A newborn calf will nurse every three to four hours or an average of 7 to 10 times daily. Calves consume 1 to 2 pints of milk during each nursing.Keep a close eye on a calf left in his motherâs care.ivide your calfâs meals between morning and evening, feeding an equal amount each timeâbetween 4 and 5 percent of his body weight. If your newborn calf weighs 25 lbs, he should receive 2.5 liters of milk daily or 1.25 liters at each feeding. Some cattlemen recommend bottle feeding a calf three to four times per day.
