Make the creep really inviting, straw hay etc. When it gets hot here we put a fan in there also

We fed our cows right next to the creep gate, by the third day the calves found it.

we put really sweet feed in the creep bunk  and put the creep feeder under the shade and moved the cow's mineral feeder within about fifteen feet of it.
will some green hay help?(they have a whole pasture of green grass so i'm a little skeptical)
