Ninety-six Hereford cow-calf pairs grazing Campo grasslands were used in a 2 × 2 factorial design that evaluated stocking rate (high [H] vs low [L]) and creep feeding (CF; yes or no). Creep-fed calves grazing L had a greater average daily gain (1.07 ± 0.03 kg/d) than CF calves grazing H (0.96 ± 0.03 kg/d; P 0.05). Similarly, L+CF calves were heavier at weaning (172 ± 3 kg) than H+CF calves (160 ± 3 kg), but weaning weights between L?CF (144 ± 3 kg) and H?CF (138 ± 3 kg; P > 0.05) did not differ. Creep-fed calves grazed less (39 ± 10%) than non-supplemented calves (58 ± 15%; P
