Using and making do with what I have is the motto on my farmstead. I inherited my grandfather’s belt driven stationary hammer mill and man it’s has been worth its weight in pure 24k gold for over 50 years now. I grind everything from cob corn to alfalfa hay. Besides being barn kept, I believe it has lasted this long because it doesn’t have gearboxes as such. Far from new and doesn’t grind efficiently like a new one but it is what I have, so I’ll keep rolling with it.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s exactly the right thing to do! It’s what I’m going to do here as well!!! I feel very fortunate to have it and I’m so grateful to my pastor for giving it to me!

[@duncand5148]

That was truly a blessing Brother Micah. Kudos to your Pastor. I know if I could talk to my grandfather one more time, I believe I’d simply tell him, “thank you” for everything he gave me, instilled in me and left me. I can hear him now, “son use what God has already given you and He’ll bless you with more”.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s absolutely true! If you aren’t faithful in the little things you won’t be trusted with the big things!

[@duncand5148]

That’s the Living Word!!!

[@JimmyOverstreet]

Brother, that's what I'm talking about. Get rid of what you don't need and keep what's important. Great job fellas!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You got that right! Thanks!

[@shannons1301]

Very useful machine for a homestead. It's nice that you can make feed whenever you need it

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s right! We love it!

[@AaricHale]

I'm glad all you guys had to do was take off the chute and it still works . My grandpa would mix water with his ground feed to feed his hogs . This cold weather is not helping any fattening up those cows lol . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes indeed! We bumped their corn when the cold hit. They are getting 2&1/2 gal morning and evening…….. so 5 gallons per day! That’ll keep em warm!😂😂😂

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

That simplifies that machine. I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of that hammer mill yet. Well done! Take care folks.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That's the plan! Hopefully the beef reflects that!🥩🥩🥩

[@jackkeeble9272]

Thanks for the video son

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks!

[@donvincent895]

Grinding the corn fine just have to make sure there’s plenty of fiber with it. Good job on the mixer!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes indeed!! Thank you!

[@ChuckisOutside]

Y’all could make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Great job!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂😂 that’s a tall order! But we could definitely make scrapple!😂😂😂

[@Shaw.77]

Great video. Stay warm.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks, you too!

[@lastdayshomesteading6288]

Great ingenuity worked really well. Animals will appreciate it. Enjoyed the video take care

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks, you too!

[@thomaslapp6029]

Making do with what you have. A great philosophy.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Very true!

[@stevehoover16]

I do believe that was an awesome job now it's usable

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks bro….. I’m happy with it!

[@jdcarroll1226]

Genius!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

At least we can use it now!😄

[@fldays6798]

Working with what you have with only a few repairs I love it . I didn't see Frank on this one giving guidance must be home working on his puzzle book lol😅 thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You are right!😂😂😂

[@shoresharp8349]

I see a good side business for the Homestead, fresh ground , cattle , chicken feed.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It would really work great if I had crop land! Not much overhead!

[@Sugarloafhomestead]

You could use a old bucket cut the bottom out of it and use it for a chute to fill the bags

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That is great thinking!

[@Alanrayc1957]

Excellent

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks!

[@Stockcreekhomestead]

You did a good job and I never thought of soaking chicken feed with left over milk good thinking

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

They definitely love it!

[@sgtmark8844]

And if you mix it with chocolate milk you'll get brown eggs instead of white😊

[@jdcarroll1226]

Good Morning

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Good morning from the fireside! It’s 7 below zero here!

[@jdcarroll1226]

16° in Fort Worth, Texas

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

🥶🥶🥶

[@iowaoutdoorfamily]

Morning you two! 1degree here! Lol wind chill feels like -11

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It’s just cold everywhere! I say let’s bring on the greenhouse gas!!!😂😂😂

[@philnorris3507]

You are lucky to have such smart sons. They obviously have great mechanical minds and understand farm machinery. Perhaps you need to get them a welder, not sure how you would run it without a powerful generator or mains electricity. A problem for you and them to solve unless your neighbours can rescue you. Another Interesting video, your content has great variety, thanks.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’m pretty excited! My son, Matthew got himself a welder recently that runs on the generator we already have!

[@philnorris3507]

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures good for Matt, I look forward to some videos covering him doing welding as he learns that skill. 😊

[@user-ud5vj4zg6k]

Mike ! According to Auburn University , if u Ccrack ur Corn your cows will get all the nutrients out of it ! I had the same concerns !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I guess they’ll get even more with it like this……. It just seems like it to me anyway!

[@atlantaswelder]

YES!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😁

[@BubaLabinski223]

I was told when you grind your own grain Like wheat and corn, and it can cause an explosion something to do about if the grain dust gets too heavy or something like that

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s probably possible…… sounds like a good reason to do small batches!

[@michaelwhisman345]

Switch to white food grade corn for feed it’s a little cheaper to grow and digest better in cattle a lot of the yellow is indigestible protein so you will see more of it in their waste

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Ok thanks

[@iowaoutdoorfamily]

McGie Steakanator Special Blend! (Oh Campdog better watch out!) 🤣

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

An IH grinder mixer made by Artsway, Armstrong Ia.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I like it.

[@Oldworldranch]

I can’t wait to see the liver on that steer

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It’s definitely getting a workout.

[@TheLimpingpimp]

Can you do a video on your chicken feed and explain everything you do

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Ok thanks!

[@Stockcreekhomestead]

Your right there not cheap I find they go cheaper at big farm consignment auctions and we have a few Amish school actions around here that you can find a bargain at sometimes

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s right…… might have to do some repairs but definitely cheaper!

[@Stockcreekhomestead]

The best part about the grinder you have you can grind the corn one the cob and the fibers good for the cow keep in mined to much strait corns hard on the liver

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Very true! I think between the stuff I added, and the silage, they’ll be fine…….. I hope!

[@Stockcreekhomestead]

I believe you’re right you do a good job with your feed I was just telling ya didn’t know if you had learned that. I am envious of your silage

[@goatstead814]

Awesome job, I’ve been looking for one of those but even the worn out ones are stupid expensive.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Wow that’s crazy!

[@leonardleveque3745]

Have you ever fed or heard of others feeding Sunn hemp? I'm looking into planting some to see how cattle graze it during July and August. I've heard of it cut for hay and was thinking the grinder might make even old stems palatable.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’ve not fed it but I’ve heard good things about it!

[@SaintEuphemia817]

❤❤❤❤

[@kmax8]

Cool video. Yall need some ear protection for that thing.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Huh? 👂 😏

[@barrytaylor9300]

Have you tried to grind your finishing feed with hay and corn your steer may eat it

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I did put some hay in this as you could see, but I would like to do more.

[@terrybeazley7414]

Making do with what you have that's what people don't understand anymore

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Very true!

[@jeffreythomas2787]

Always interesting, except for the possum 😮😮 f j b 😊

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂 you’re going to love the next few weeks!😂😂😂😂😂

[@frazeeken]

Why throw away something that already works. Maybe a little more work this way but doesn't cost anything.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Absolutely!

[@Keith_Hatter]

Cut maintenance down to nothing. Everything runs better with leftover or omitted parts... 😂

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂😂😂 that’s exactly what I was thinking!

[@iowaoutdoorfamily]

We are all a little crazy... 🤪 You and the boys did great we would have done the same thing! Good job boys! How did their trapping go? Did they do any videos?

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That trip didn’t get any videos…… but we have trapping videos from here on the property on the way!

[@iowaoutdoorfamily]
