SPECIAL CREEP
the big-frame builder
It keeps calves growing; they don't put on
fat; they build frame!
There's only one best time to build a frame that has the
potential for maximum gains, and that's from the time a
calf will take his first solid bite, until weaning time! The
earlier they eat, the sturdier the frame,, the heavier the
weaning weight!
Calves take to it in a hurry!
No "baiting" to get them started. Saves ^your time and
labor. Calves get going earlier, on their own Stops the
.trouble and expense of "feed switching"
They do well, .but still it's not too "hot" for
them.
It's an ideal free-choice feed for calves, because it's
not so rich it overloads young and developing digestive
systems. Calves warm-up to It quickly; and if you happen
to run out, most calves take right off on new supplies
without warming up delay.
Results more than pay for feeding it!
This is not"an Evprgreen claim or promise; it's the testi-
mony of literally dozens of. feeders, who profit from the
big extra gains and obviously exceptional -condition of
their calves fed on Evergreen Special Creep! '
