roller mill works

Getting dusty

[@larsonvalleyfarm]

I like how you have it mounted on the wall out of the way. Looks like it's working good

[@sowerscattleco3484]

Great job Will. Every day presents its own challenges and most days "we eat the bear" but we all know about the day(s) that the "bear eats us".

[@sowerscattleco3484]

thanks bill

[@mrnate4280]

Long time coming. Hell of a job man. Nothing wrong with saving money. Really happy for you man. You needed a win with all the shit you've been putting up with.

[@sowerscattleco3484]

Thanks nate, did you stop making videos?

[@mrnate4280]

+Sowerscattleco no just been really busy I'll get one up here soon.

[@HergenriderCattle]

I'd like to see that little tractor in some more videos

I love the commodity shed and the roller. We use an old grinder mixer and put the ration back in the bin ,and shovel it into the loader or fill 5gal pails, BUT I don't have a custom grow yard I just feed my own cows and calves so the most grain I would feed is 2500lbs/day. I'd like to build a shed and feed DDG but us farmers all understand next year. Love the vids

[@sowerscattleco3484]

thanks you, its worth building a shed, you can mix feed so much faster

[@1ausclaas783]

Great job mate.you would have to be happy with that,

[@sowerscattleco3484]

it does the job lol

[@EZ-viewing.]

Hi. I have been following your channel for some time now. Very impressed with your cattle management. Could I please ask you your ration formulations. I’m curious of the %’s of DDG, milled corn and hay you use. I’m guessing that you utilise a grower ration? Hope you could respond. Cheers.

[@OldGlory1776]

Rotogrind makes a grain mill setup, which just like the hammer mill on your 760 except without the tub- Not sure what it would cost, or if you could retro-fit yours to crack corn? They tell me on our Highline Processor you can run whole corn through it because it will crack it as it goes though the fine chop unit.

[@bigunone]

Interesting that your electrical co-op did the install. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal!

[@sowerscattleco3484]

yeah i guess as long as it keeps working lol

[@bigunone]

I'm a electrical contractor, I haven't done any three phase work like that in a few years, but knowing how much materials have gone up, a long with the cost of labor, I would say you got a pretty good deal

[@sowerscattleco3484]

+C. D. M. it's all single phase, 200 amp

Where is the roller mill?

[@wvranchhand9633]

Great job on your commodity shed. What's your thoughts on mixing in corn gluten with the corn silage and hay?

[@rmack48]

If I was in your boots I think that I would leave the roller mill exactly where it is because moving it might cause you more grief than good.

[@mathman1923]

Love the setup. Question on the corn price you mentioned. you have said several times that you buy it lower but still charge yourself the higher price. What does that mean, exactly? what benefit is that? How do you like your propane powered truck?

[@sowerscattleco3484]

because i feed cattle for a business, so its just marking up a product for profit, its not powered on propane

[@wvranchhand9633]

I'm not trying to sound arogant I was just wondering, since the main ingredients in the ration are hay and corn silage, why not supplement in gluten instead of adding more corn. Is it just personal preference or do you notice a big difference in weight gain?

[@sowerscattleco3484]

corn gluten isnt available to us

[@wvranchhand9633]

Oh ok. Thank you

[@thevirginiafarmer7247]

how much do the ddgs cost per ton?

[@sowerscattleco3484]

i dont remember im sure ill know here pretty quick

[@BIRDCHRIS1]

ok, what's a grow yard?

[@modsquad8817]

It's where you grow marijuana

[@modsquad8817]

Place where calves/ poor cattle go to grow big but not finished off. You can call it a feed lot
