That sounds like a genius idea!! I saw one at our local hardware store. An electric one for half cheap

Thanks guys for your response. But to answer your question. My dad runs a small veggies farm. Growing lots of things from carrots to potatoes to cabbage and so on. So I got a supply in the fall of the garbage veg and it's just something to offset some feed cost. I'm feeding approx 2 gallons each...

Hey everyone. So wondering about vegetable feeding. When we only had 2 or 3 cows we always feed them chopped veggies with their grain and hay. Now I have 10 head altogether and finding chopping this much veg a bit time consuming. What are anyone with larger numbers doing to make the veg smaller...

I own a Jersey & Jersey cross cow. I breed them beef but then buy a dairy bull calf when the cows calf. so it's like they got twins every year wean the twins off at 5 months old and then buy another calf to finish off her lacation. So that calf is 4 months when weaned and it works so far. The...

well I'm giving my cows about 50 lbs of the brewers grain per head per day. now I'm getting it for free. myself and the brewery split the cost of the bins to ship the stuff in so that's all its cost me. but it saves on hay and they are packing on weight. of my 10 head herd 4 are dairy breeds and...

An update on the grain. the brewery has started up and I have started feeding to the cows. I have 5 cows and 5 calves. From what I read I decided to give the cows starting off 30lbs per day plus hay and 20lbs to the calves plus hay. Been feeding for 2 straight days now and haven't noticed much...

ok why is that? the guy says once or twice a week pickup so hopefully if this works he will be brewing for a long time.

ok this is great it's what I'm looking for. I don't know yet how much I can get I have just emailed this guy a couple times. meeting him this week. ok so give everyone the numbers on my cattle n situation I got cows n calves. I'm feeding a sack per day (25kg or 55lbs) @ $17 Canadian or roughly...

it was my plan to make it my sole ration feed. hay too of course. I have a small herd 10 head an a small flock of sheep 6. from what I saw online I thought I could use it as a replacement to the beef ration I'm feeding now. that's only at 15% crude protein n this should be 22% + so I thought it...

Hey guys. I am in the mist of getting a contract to take brewer grain from a small brewery. Just wondering about the nutritional value of it. do anyone have a chart or something? Can ya use just brewer grain as a substitute for beef ration?

yeah I agree with you guys. it sounds very labor intensive n costly. all I thought was god I got 10 head including calves. so I would need to outfit my entire garage n basement to grow this stuff to keep these guys fed. n that's with several layers of this stuff.

Hey guys I have saw this ad on Facebook bout hydrophonic fodder for cattle has anyone tried this? I guess it's like sprouts but what's everyone's opinion?

so Butch I had the vet in the check him out. he passed that and she said he was good to slaughter. so because he was getting big n had horns still I decided to have him slaughtered. the vets wanted the head to check it out but nothing ever came back from that. I did remember that he had been...

farmerjan you are right bout looking good and doing well. that holestien calf looks great right now I'm just wondering if he will keep growing descent considering he got a much better start. and well I always pasture and grain raise my cows it makes for a much nicer animal. I'm considering...

well lucky for me I raise my calves and I can have them butchered and sell them at my local farmers market. I raise them on pasture but give them grain as well. so far I have been happy with my beef mix calves.

Hey guys it's been awhile since I have posted on here. I got my herd up to 9 head now. I started to do an experiment this year. I have a jersey and a jersey cross cows and I have read that jerseys are great nurse cows so I decided to try this out. when my jersey calved this June I went out n...

Thanks I was reading bout it too. But can't find and good clear info on protein levels and so on. I know storage will be an issue. I just got a small herd of 9 head altogether so I'd probably just take a bit at a time. And store it in 5 gallon buckets in cooler.

Hey everyone. So just got a message from my local cheese maker. He is wondering if I'd be interested in taking some or all his whey. Tell please what benefit I could get from this. In weight gains food consumption n so on. I'd like to know more bout it. Would I mix it with their dry ration?
