You are a good teacher and show the various parts of making cattle feed. The corn harvest was interesting and it was fun watching the hammer mill operation. Your corn crib seems to have a lot of corn ready to be ground into feed. Thanks for a great video and blessing to all of you folks.

I agree with you on ear corn being the best feed. But in north Texas the price of corn is the same price as bag feed. Which is $24/cwt. Feed and grain dealers have tapped into the value stream and cornered the market on all animal feed.
@knappfarms Жыл бұрын
I don’t think this would be efficient if we didn’t raise all our own corn to save a little money on it but we also get the fiber from the cob and filler so that helps with the price as well

Notice, the grinder didn’t care how fast the corn picker was run and I’m sure the cattle won’t care either.😀
