      Ethan earle I used to buy I not put it in half way through.... I put a minerals, and 2 other products.. 1 for The prevention of acidosis and another for any toxins in the feed and they’re quite dusty. So found a lot blew away when u put in first. So I put some ingredients in first to prevent losses

    Love the videos Gerry, you have a great setup and great land, what do you think is the future for suckler/beef farming, the reason I'm asking is because I would think your operation is at the top end of the scale and would be very interested to hear your views or even a short video on it. Hope you don't mind me asking. PS The silence is deafening

    when i grew up we fed cattle silage only during the winter. Why do you do this mix, seems like alot of effort. Are they in all year round?

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends what kind of cattle you had. I’ve cattle that get fed silage mostly. Young stock . Beef cattle are different set up. Feeding practices are changed also. Your feeding to get the most weight gain per day from an animal

  • @conor7187

    Where do you buy potatoes in bulk like that? Do you grow all your grain yourself? Sorry, one last question 😅
    Have you noticed an improvement in your cattle since before adding a diet feeder to your operation?

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Blankity Blank buy bulk potatoes off a potato grower. These are damaged or odd shaped ones not fit for human consumption. We have diet feeders since 1999 and they do improve intake and weight gain. You have great or control over feeding. It allows you to buy and mix by-products also
