King City, Mo | I was wanting a one mix to feed everything deal and came to the conclusion if stock talk and google couldbt make it work it was a pipe dream.
So went with a base mix of ground popcorn, ddg, soy meal, oats at 16-17% P.
Pull buckets out and add oyster shell when doing chicken feeders. Add higher protein pellets if egg production lacks for demand.
Grind another wagon load of pure popcorn and place by other feed wagon. Cows/calves get so many buckets of base mix plus buckets of pure ground popcorn.
Put salt and mineral out free choice for cattle.
Could do a creep feeder but gave my old one away as “im not gonna be calving cows again…”
I ground 3.5 loads. Today starting late morning. No help just me.
Had a loose belt so got to shop vac out the hammer mill.
Had a chain break the master link
Had tighter for fill auger break
Unload auger broke and i quit at that point for the day
I was in and out of the bobcat 500 times as i measured out the ddg/oats/soy meal from proboxes into another box and then into the top of mixer so in/out.
Then out of the bobcat abd climbing up in the feed wagon to dump full boxes of finished feed into the storage wagon in the shed.
