Best Brand Of Creep Feeder

[clubcalve]

What have people found to be the most rugged, long lasting, and overall best creep feeder. Looking to purchase one to get calves started on grain earlier than in the past.

You can probably build one cheaper than you can buy one that will last longer.

Rust usually get creep feeders. Bulls can beat em em around and destroy them. Our coop rents them....you use their creep pellets. Seems like rent was like a dollar a day.....maybe more.

We just set up a pen (have used 3 - 8 foot panels and a 24 x 24 corral both) and run a strand of hot wire across the opening. With the 3 panels, we set it up in a  U shape and run the wire where the 4th panel would hook up to make it a square. Calves can go in, other cattle can not. We just put it near a hot wire strand so we can run a jump wire. If it was not near that, you could buy a solar charger and hook it up to the panels.
Works for us! Nothing to replace except for feed.... cause they eat a bunch!  <party>
