I got mine from the highway dept. they get them with soap in them.Just have to use ALOT of water to clean out all of the bubbles, must be pretty potent soap. I built mine like Duns now I'd like to attach a rub to treat for face flies. My buddy cut whats looks like an I in his then took a...

I've been considering this same question. I like the 5' bales because it saves me trips when i"m hauling them in, I don't have to feed as often and I "think" there's less waste. I like the 4'ers because I don't use all of my hay and their easier to haul legal. With that said, I still haven't...

I drive thru Lewis and Upshur Counties a good bit and I live in Barbour, I've seen a few of them since the article, never saw one before, or so i thought :oops: . We just had our second calf today so I'm really on the lookout for them now ;-) . We've got an Australian Shepard but she's turned...

Here's the link, first time i've ever posted one, so I hope it works :D It does sound like you're talking about the same bird, just be cautious especially if you read the next to last paragraph :roll: http://www.wvagriculture.org/market_bul ... 9-pg-4.pdf

If they come back here's something to think about. About 15 yrs ago they got an easement from my dad for a transmission line. He ended up with 2 gas taps (I believe 250mcf) and another one that the gas co gave to the church. They also ran the line just off of our line fence and about every 2-3...

Always heard "wear it out, use it up, make it do or do without!" :D

This seems to be the route I'm on now, rings with skirts. As to the 2x day feeding, when I was little we fed twice a day(small squares) as much as they'd clean up. I think the cows looked better then but they sure were a lot bigger :D oh but what a PITA, that's one reason I'm doing rounds...

Yes, please post the pic. Yuo've got me now looking for trampoline frames :o

Sounds like the plan for me, probably using rings w/ skirts, just smaller scale. SRBeef; thanks, that does look like a sturdy unit that could be easly moved which I believe will be critical here. Thanks for everyones input, it really helps me to toss ideas around :D

Dang, caught, I just checked the link without re-reading. Now I stand corrected. :oops: Ed

That's what i'm looking for Feeder that reduce waste :D yea, if left the feeder in the same spot i'd never be able to fill it, it get's pretty muddy here when it thaws out! I don't need the unroller, just head it down the hill and watch out for the fences. I watched my neighbor unroll them...

The study Dun linked to was the study i was referring to but gave the credit to the wrong place. :( Sorry about that to Missouri.

Thanks for all the input, I now think I'll get the skirted ring and plan on trying to build something like Chippie's pic shows. I inherited the farm, 78 acres 1/2 bottom land and the other half hills and rocks. Figured I'd better get ready for the cows so I spent all summer repairing fences and...

I've done a quick search but haven't really found anything on this and I need help from the experienced. I just bought 10 cow/calf pairs and I'm getting ready to buy a round hay bale feeder ring but now I'm stuck. I was just offered a "hay saver" type feeder, it has a solid bottom and a cone to...

Be very careful with the dogs when it's calving time. My 72 year old Dad was out one night checking on a cow that had just had her calf. As usual his dog went along. The cow went after his Australian Shepherd (Usually a great cow dog) but the dog ran behind Dad. The cow just plowed through Dad...
