Creep Feeder
Cashels
Engineering Ltd. has developed its Calf Creep Feeder, in
conjunction with the top beef producers in the country,
over the past ten years, amongst which are the most
influential breeders of Charolais, Belgian Blues,
Limousin and Simmentals.
It is designed to maximise weight gain by providing
ad-lib feeding during the weaning stage and the
following months leading to the sale period. It is not
designed as a shelter, this is the reason for the open
back pin.
Our trials and feedback confirm,
closed-in units restrict the process, as young stock
need time to get used to entering the units, and in bad
weather they stay inside the unit sheltering. This
restricts the ad-lib process and does nothing for weight
gain.
Features:
-
3-point linkage is Quick Attach, as
standard;
-
The gates are hot-dip galvanised;
-
The hopper is primed with anti-corrosive
paint and finished with two coats of gloss enamel;
-
Each coat is cured by oven drying;
-
Optional: Hot-dip galvanised hopper.
