That is a great feed for cattle. Do you clamp it in a heap or feed it fresh - I guess feed it fresh from what you are saying? Over here it is quite common to clamp it like silage or even put a thick layer underneath in a clamp and cover it with maize silage. to feed later. Wet brewers grains or potato sludge are two other great feeds, if available at the right price from processing plants, and you can get hold them - haulage costs can be the killer though!
I will feed it fresh and haul it till March, in the past some guys tried to pack and store it but it doesn't work good if you only get so many loads a week. There are a couple feed lots that bought 20,000 T and they feed it fresh every day as well. The factory dries everything they can so they only sell what they can't get dry a day.
Hopefully it saves you money! When we are hanging around 0 degrees you will have to be fast at cleaning out that truck before it freezes to the floor, even though it has that poly liner! Just be careful not to slip!
I slipped on the floor of the box yesterday. lol I used to haul tailings for my Uncle every morning at 6 and they are just little broken tails and chips off the beets that come out from the beet washer and one morning the truck broke down before I could get it dumped and it was -40 and it was only for an 2 hours longer than normal and it took me 3 days to clean it out and 200lbs of propane , I was young back then if that happened now I would find a heated shop to park it in to thaw it out. This year they dropped the price and it made it a good deal but I will have to spend some money on my Dads truck so the DOT's don't pull me off the road and they are out in full force with beet harvest right now. The past month the DOT's have had crews out 7 days out of the week and had many days where they pull every large truck over and then lots of days where they only pull farmers trucks over.
I have an old feed truck F600 with an Oswalt mixer but I haven't got it going running yet this season so yesterday I filled all my bale feeders and dumped pulp on all the bales.
I know years ago there were some farmer owned Sugar beet factories in your country that sold all of their beet pulp wet instead of drying it because they had a good market for it. I enjoy learning how you guys get big corn yields and how popular soybeans are.
I used to run the pulp driers and would adjust the driers on feel and then the lab would test if I was right so I've had some experience. thanks for watching

Do you have a feed truck or feed wagon? I don't remember you ever posting a feeding video

High energy, lower cost, BUT there's always a catch with a little extra work. Cows get one whiff of that stuff...
Yup your right Brooks there is always a catch.
Great video
Do you cover it or do you feed it fast enough
Try to feed it fast enough before it rots or molds.
Cool to see some different feed for the cattle

Love this video. Good luck. Regards...
Never heard of that being used as feed. Neat info.
Dried beet pulp is in a lot of grain rations, but the wet stuff is cheaper and it is good feed, thanks for watching
Interesting video.
I bet that bed gets slick when it freezes.
It does get slick thanks for watching
what about it's palatability?
it is very good
If you can decipher between 75 and 80% moisture by squeezing I'm going to call you an expert. Lol great video

Andersoncatlleco., if you can use it at the cheap and cut cost go for it.
If I had enough hay I wouldn't bother but I can't afford to buy $200/ton hay.
I know the deer love em
I bet they would they love potatoes
AndersonCattleCo. Deer don't mess with the potatoes around here, but then again theres soybeans and corn as far as the eye can see
Boy that almost looks like a big pile of sawdust lol
I like that maybe word.Lol Lot's of maybe's in the farm business. Are you near Ponoka (not sure on spelling)
Ponoka is 5 hrs North of me. it's always maybe lol
