Looks like a better height !!!!:thumbsup:thumbsup:clap:clap

If you cannot separate to feed the wormer, I wouldn't use it. You would need to use more than the recommended amount to make sure that they all got enough. There is a good amount of leeway with it, so not a problem to give "more" , so it would be hard to overdose it. We used the Safeguard...

Don't know how high you made the 55 gal feeder/waterer... but realize that cattle eat and drink with their heads down... keeps them from getting choked up with feed and from the water possibly going into the windpipe as they swallow... Yes, the lower it is the more likely it will eventually get...

I would go the pet milk/soap making route and be done with it. Once it is off my property, I don't care if you take a bath in it or drink it or feed it to the pigs... No guarantees.... no liabilities... label it for pets/crafts and that's it.

RealMilk.com usually has each state listed and the regs.... that said, if you find some "soap makers" then what they do with the milk once they get it home is their business... and most allow milk sales for "pet milk"....

Once you get the worming protocol done that you are using, do not keep worming them regularly. They will never develop any resistance to worms with regular worming. Some animals tend to not be able to handle worm loads and they need to be culled. As an animal matures, their systems can handle...

:clap:celebrate:celebrate:weee:weee Way to go...... That's where I am with the cattle... bunch gone 2 weeks ago; some more gone last Friday... sorted off 14 more to go to sale barn next week, 14 to go to VT and 35 to go to WVa for summer grazing... leaves just a couple for replacements kept...

Drain holes are fine if you use it for only feed... you can't feed loose trace mineral in it because it will sift out and you can't use it for an emergency waterer... but yes.. we have holes in two... we do not get "cubes" here for feed like out in the midwest and west... it is either pellets or...

Interesting pics on the barrel feeders... I liked the pig ones with the pipe to run the feed down into... kinda like the one @baymule used for her "pig palace" when she fed out the hogs... The one thing to think about is if it is a simple feeder for out in the field, you want it to not be so...

Have you ever wormed him?

All we do with the 55 gal barrels we cut longways, is to screw a couple of 2x6's to the ends like feet... not underneath but to the ends... stabilizes the whole thing from tipping over BUT is lighter and easier to move and tip over to clean with just 2x6's on the ends... couple feet long

Yep, ours mostly all do the same... see a bucket and you call 'em.... and I can get several to follow the car now without even the bucket... they know where I am going and next thing I will be putting the feed in the troughs, and here they all appear over the hill.... I can go out here when they...

@CLSranch ... what was the name of the stuff that was helping...?? Clay Travis and Buck Sexton radio program that took over the Rush Limbaugh show, talks about a testosterone supplement for men.,... might be something you could use??? Can't remember the name but I will listen on Monday and...

Totally agree... these people are nearly my age and grew up with next to nothing... he was/is a nuclear physicist or something... very very smart...high paying job... and she grew up poor also and canning and all that...worked for awhile too.... she still cans and grows a garden... but I just...

I have posted over on BYH in my journal about the fencing that was taken down at a rented place... owners wanted all new fence along the road and up one side... the road fence was good woven wire and the fence builders just pulled it all out with the bobcat and it was smooshed into piles. The...

Wedge-Loc T-post braces have been around for years. Mixed reviews overall, but they are certainly useful. Easy to make a semi-permanent fence and then be able to move it much more easily than wood posts and such. The attaching and un-attaching of the wire is the bigger pain if you want to...

My son was at Rural King and picked up several pairs on a discount table for $5.00 each. Hey, I couldn't buy the zipper let alone the fabric to make them if I was inclined to... NOPE..... and DOUBLE NOPE for paying $60 for a pair of jeans... Rural King brand is just fine... new is new and if...

This past year there has been an increase in numbers of abnormal calves and sheep that have been posted by several members of a cattle forum I am on as well as some problems on BYH postings by members. Don't know the reasoning or causes.....

I've ordered from Ideal and had good service. I looked at the smaller one that @baymule referenced... and they look like a good company and reasonable. Limited breeds but very good reviews. Anyone concerned about the bank shut down situations?

OUCH....
