Inexpensive Creep Feeder LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 30-4-33 "I wanted to save some money and use equipment I already had. That's why I turned a covered gravity grain wagon and a few gates into a creep feeder," says Joe Mattingly, Raywick, Ky.

"It's an economical way to add pounds of beef," he says.
