I have built a few from scratch. But if you are going to depend on it to water your cows and it is the first time messing with them I would suggest shelling out the cash and buy one. The home made units are not as reliable and need a lot of fine tuning to get them to pump at a stable rate for...

It’s all in the site prep and how far you want to go with it. There not hard to set up once you read up on it. But the one thing that is more important then most web sites leads to is “driver pipe”. The driver pipe should not shake when it is running. If you use PVC you need to have it...

How much drop dose the creek have? Why not a ram pump if there set up right you just walk away and let them work. Rebuild them every year and your done. But setting them up is where it all comes done to how well it will work and how often it will need to be rebuilt.

That sounds like it will work. I don’t start a diesel unless I need power. I put a plywood divider in a pick up with an 8’ bed and a net tail gate. Fill it with hay and stick a kid in the back with the calf. If you remove the kid to the front of the bed you can tag, band, weigh, and what...

As long as you got something that was cheap and that will work. I just hop I didn’t get the redneck stuff flowing to bad…

I think they were trying to tell you they wanted better corral or they unionized and ate the corral hoping to not have to be “worked”.

I set mine up with 6 bails of hay, 2 trailers, and will put in 2 wooden posts if I set it up along a good fence. I can set it up in a few hours most of the time. My cows are on the calmer side or I would need to use more stuff.

The next time your in the field with someone and need to move the fence grab the back of there neck and then grab the wire. Ok this is fun to do even if you don’t have to move the fence. I know they make energizers that have remote controllers.

I’m basing this comment off using poly wire. I know there are other types of poly fence… Most spools have insolated handles that work well. If I’m spooling or unspooling I don’t have to touch the wire to get it on or off the posts. I almost always move the fences by the spools because it’s...

It was about the same 8 years ago where I’m at. I’m overhead and had to pay $900 a power poll and had to sign a contract of connection for 3 years (to pay for the wire). I’m using a transformer that’s feeding my house. Where I’m at if you use under X amount of power you get charged a...

I know a barking dog can set them off. But can a mooing cow do it?

I hope they don’t use any tong that would have to choke you. :secret:

:roll: :cry: :? :secret:

But if a cow is happy then they will hopefully eat more. I have seen chunks of wood hanging out of trees by a chain to old logging chains hanging around different places calling them cattle scratchier. I know there more important in dairy the beef operations. I started looking into some type...

I have 2 home made scratches that are both mounted to the back of my mineral sled. One is a 5 coil springs. 3 are vertical then one at a 45% and then one horizontal. It’s welded to a 2x4 on the inside and a 2x2 on the back side. The improved “nesikep scratchier”. The other one is 2 heavy...

About 15 years ago I used a mix of mostly apples, with a little sugar, and cracked corn. I called it apple jack. That’s not what we call it around theses woods.
