What I'm seeing today

[dutchcowboy]

Manure storage of one of my neighbours needed a new plastic layer.
Its about 20x30 m and holds 3000m3 of manure.
2 wheelcranes and 15 men did the job.

The road commissioner went by and did a number on the saplings, and over hanging trees with one of those brush mowers.
If I owned one there probably wouldn't be one sapling left in the county.
What animals does your friend raise, pigs?

Best cow with bull calf, I sure was hoping for a heifer

 

[jedstivers]

She looks good.

These aren't all from today but I need to catch up.

Photobucket locked up, I'll try to finish later.

Good looking calves out of that hereford bull and black cows, i really like that cross
What are you grinding and putting in the tire feeders ?

 

[sim.-ang.king]

Is that Milo stalks and gin trash?
I'm guessing the mixer has been doing it's good.

 

[jedstivers]

We're grinding mill stalks, milo hay cut in the boot stage, or oat hay cut in the boot stage, gintrash, whole cottonseed and a little corn.

Sounds like quite a mix. What the expected ADG on that mix?

It's not a recommend mix, still working on getting that. We hope at least two pounds a day. They seem to be doing that.

 

[sim.-ang.king]

They keep that up and you will be in pretty good shape by April.

Yeah I hope so. Wanting to get some corn steep but not having much luck on it. Need to get a real mix soon too. I'm going back through my pm's and checking one too.

Looks good Jed! What do you keep in the old anhydrous wagons?

Larry

 

[jedstivers]

Those are Diesle tanks, most are propane tanks but a few are anhydrous tanks. The one with the pipe in it was a fuel tank on a pivot. The other is the main nurse tank we use.

How many baby calves are in there? Are they bulls or heifers and how many do you have to a pen.Oh and how big our your pens.
