Creep grazing calves on separate pastures from cows can add pounds to calf weaning weights. In creep grazing, nursing calves get special attention. They either graze before the cows do, getting first choice of the more succulent, highly nutritious pasture, or they have access to special pastures. They enter the special pastures through gates with openings large enough for calves but too small for cows to get through. In an alternative method, electric fences are positioned high enough (36 to 42 inches) for calves to pass while cows cannot.
