I have always wondered what you do if your brother and nephew always do all the work around there
I guess you don't have to work with that gov't check coming every month for being dimwitted
plus not ever having any real experience in the real world since you have always lived at home with Momma and never had to make it on your own in the real world
there is No way 70 cows will support 3 families unless they have other income which I would guess in your case it is a check from taxpayers for being mentall challenged
I also don't know why if you are the big cowman why your brother is the one always doing the work as 70 cows is just a hobby
most guys I know that run less than 150 cows have a full time job in town to support their family

Anyways, I like the ones made out of tubing with solid steel 1/3 of the way up from the bottom.
Did you build the cradle feeders and if you did where are the pictures. I was wondering how to bend the sucker rod, thank's for the idea.lavacarancher":3v0w6lq6 said:I'm getting ready to build some feeders and they're going to be the "cradle" type. CB posted some pictures here some time ago and that's the type I'm building.
I'll be using sucker rod for the cradle, angle iron for the frame and square tubing for the legs. To radius the sucker rod I will chain one end of the rod to the tractor tire and roll it around the tire. At least that's the plan. I'll post some pictures when I get through if I can make the picture thing work.
For our drylot at the lower ranch we did the same thing, only made it V shaped, with the open end meeting the outside fence, that way one guy can feed without opening gates, just push the bale in with tractor, put a second one in and push in, never have to open a gate or get in with the cows! We made the top rail out of pipe and the bottom out of highway guardrail, works like a charmkrankieone":3fv2addo said:I just use 4 posts and 4 rails and make a little square corral and put the bale in it
I will have to take some pictures first but i will try to get them up for everybody!TennesseeTuxedo":3ubyogyw said:Post some pics of what you built 429421blkangus if you have the time.
