Jackson county Ava blacktop

What type of fly control feed or tubs do you recommend? I had a trailer built that uses half plastic barrel feeders and a metal framework to fasten on 4 cow life rubs on. Thinking about using feed similar to the Wind & Rain with fly control med in it (if it don’t bankrupt me). I tried a tub of...

She is mostly angus all black. I have just a few baldies with mostly all black herd. I would guess her weight at 1400 and she looks good. Her udder and teats both are swollen with no sign of nursing.

Just noticed I have a cow with a huge udder (no calf). Is it mastitis and if it is what would it cost for vet bills? Can I send her off to the sale barn? Any advice appreciated!

I like the Stafix 12 inch offsets from Kencove that attach directly to the woven wire. I put one strand of 12 gage wire about waist high spaced about 30 feet apart. This allows cows to graze under the hot wire and you can still mow under it with a 10 foot or wider bush hog without any post in...

Need suggestions on hay ground sprayer. Neighbor has a good used sprayer for sale. It is an older Bestway 500 gallon,walking tandem, 40 foot booms, foam markers, hydraulic pump unit like the one attached. Do you think it would be ok for gently rolling hay ground or should I shop for something else?

See or call kencove.com

Does “Dun” still post on this forum? Sure do miss his comments and advice!

I have had one of the 3465's for several years here in southern Illinois. If you put in the heat tube like they recommend, you shouldn't have any problems with the water freezing inside the tank in a moderate climate. They only problem I have had is the balls freezing to the top of tank from the...

greybeard: I know you picked up the porcelain insulators to resolve you temporary fence issue, but here is something you might want to consider for use in the future. Kencove Fence Co. still sells the "insultube" for 12.5 gauge wire. Insultube is just heavy plastic tubing.....just cut to length...

Getting ready to install the 3/4 inch 4x6 mats in my stock trailer. One side of the mats has a groove cut in them about every inch or so running the 6 foot direction. The grooves are about a quarter inch wide and about 3/16 inch deep. The other side has a little raised oval shaped dimples on...
