    Hi Anthony, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the most invaluable source of information from your channel. Your cattle are well looked after and really show your experience in this field. Not many people are willing to impact their knowledge and time like this, so thank you.
    We have a large supply of white corn and maize stova for roughage. What protein, energy products, including portion sizes, would you recommend for formulation of the best pen fattening meal for our cattle? Also, what formulation would you give to cattle just arriving in the pen and not used to the fattening program?
    Sorry for the long message, I know you are very busy. You are free to respond with a voice message as well.
    Kind regards

      Hi Simba,
      Thanks for the comment!
      Where are you from? The reason for my question is because I'm not the best person to answer your question. I don't have much experience in the ingredients you mentioned for feedlot purposes. What I would suggest is that you download the Voermol app and see what they advise. Of course this would only be helpful if you're in South Africa and have access to their products.
      I know that you could use extruded soya meal as a protein source - once again if you have access to that.
      Sorry I can't be more helpful.

      @shanecotty3275  7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Ho SimKash,
      Thanks for the comment!
      Look up Johan Zietsman on TH-cam. He has some collaboration with Jaime Allezondo where they High Density graze wooded areas. I don't have any experience myself but there are sevetal examples where people have been able to sufficiently thin out the wooded areas so that the grass can come up.
      Another option is to use goats. Do you have any?

    • @SimKash-u3n

    Congratulations from Botswana! In some Setswana dialects in Botswana the bull calf colour is tuba. In Se-Kgatla dialect the same colour would be thokwa. The positive change of attitude on the part of some SA commercial towards indigenous cattle breeds is good.

    the easiest way is the pelvic examination which is hard for good conditioned animals, but the one i have come to use recently is tummy size, a few days before calving a cows right side of the tummy gets bigger than the left side

      @shanecotty3275  7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Ntebogang,
      Thanks for your input - however..... I'll take a video tomorrow of my Tuli cow that calved 1 month ago. Her tummy is still bigger on the right hand side....
      I also used to believe that until my tulis calved....

    Congratulations.
    Heifers are always deceptive. My drakensbergers kept me guessing the whole time this calving season. Had a 2022 heifer my vet preg tested her and said she will calf down in December but the calf dropped end of October... Tiny calf but can be expected from a 26month old heifer.

    Congratulations on the new calves! This might be slightly off-topic, but have you ever considered using barley sprouts as a supplement for your cattle instead of conventional feeds? With drought conditions affecting many areas, it could be a sustainable alternative. What are your thoughts on hydroponics in general?

    • @shanecotty3275
      @shanecotty3275  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Johan,
      Welcome to the channel!
      Yes I have looked into the barley sprouts. I don't know enough about it to make an educated decision but I know there are farmers using it successfully. At the same time I'm not currently rigged to do it successfully - I first need to sort out my water & water lines.
      I do believe that it may be a viable option when I decide to finish off my own cattle on farm.
      If you have any good info please feel free to share!
