Had a neighbor who is a big farmer who gave me all of his corn screenings (dried) this fall. All in all i have about 18 ton of these. This is very good material as there was a small hole in the screen that let a little whole corn get through. I was wondering about buying some bigger feeder...

I am looking into using Kent No roughage calf for 200# holstien bull calves, anyone use this before and what did you think of it. I dont have good enough hay for the calves and anything decent will cost $5 a bale in my area. I also like the fact I dont have to hassle with hay. Right now they...

Borrowed a neighbor's SM55 disc mower to cut three acres of grass hay the other day. He said I could use it if I put new knives on it, the problem is I can't find the parts to do it. Does anyone know anywhere you can get the parts, or who built these for Deutz-Allis? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick replies. I will pickup some bloat ease tomorrow. I may also back off some on the hay and concentrates.
