[QUOTE="OutdoorFarmer, post: 1624697, member: 39954"] Good morning everyone. I have a small cattle operation of about 60 head of cattle which I calve out during the winter. For years, we bedded down our cows by hand or by leaving a straw bale on the bed for the cows to spread around. It was all fine and dandy when I was a young buck but now that I'm getting older and have health issues, I need to find a low cost way of spreading the straw. Like I said before, I have tried just setting the bale out for the cows to do it but I find they end up either leaving majority of the bale in that spot without spreading or rolling it off the bedding area all together. So I still end up manually spreading the straw anyways. I was hoping that someone might have a idea or invention that could help me out. Right now a bale shredder is not in the cards due to cost factors plus I don't have a second tractor to operate it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you [/QUOTE]
