I know they say everyone grieves different but after 2 years, if your still being strongly affected you need to speak to someone.
@tytheboss85289 ай бұрын
@@Blue_G_41swhat an insensitive thing to say. Losing a parent is something most people never forget. It may seem like people “get over” the grief but, in reality, they just learn to hide/cope with it. The grief is always there, bubbling right beneath the surface. It’s completely ok to grieve a parent for two years. I’ll agree that therapy can help but don’t act as if it’s unusual or not ok for someone to grieve a parent for an extended period of time.

Grief is like swimming in the ocean, for the most part you can bob up and down with the rhythm of the waves, but every once in a while a wave will catch you off guard and crash over your head, even when you know it’s coming. And that’s ok, as long as you remember that one rogue wave doesn’t last for ever, you’ll be ok, and over time, those rogue waves become less severe and less frequent until you are back to bobbing up and down with the rhythm of the ocean.
@kepeti869 ай бұрын
Best advice I had about dealing with grief came from the film Wind River. It describes how you must not run from the pain but embrace it. If you run from the pain aka thinking of your dad you risk losing all those memories of him. Once you take the pain you will allow yourself to visit him in your mind and remember all those wonderful times you had together. Take the pain!

Have you looked into DDGS that would come from a Brewery? After the brew, the mash is often dried and sold as cattle feed. During the brewing process, the barley gets heated with something called a Jet cooker, and then when it gets soaked as a mash, it partially sprouts, thus releasing its sugars for the fermenting yeast to eat. But the protein is left untouched, so the brewery often dries it to sell as feed.

Draff is generally high in protein not starch as the starch is what they take out of it for distillation

With relation to the barley it's something to try with just the cost of the feed. Then later if you do see a change in the condition of the stock you could justify getting a new bin to save money on the treated barley. Grate video

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Interesting to hear how the barley can have different affects on the cows depending on if it’s cracked or not. I’ve also heard of feeding livestock sprouted barley as a substitute for hay. They say it’s great for cows, left me wondering what affect it would have vs what you are doing now. Wishing you and your family the best.

You pose an interesting question. I always thought the plural of Angus was Just Angus, not angus'es . Or should it be Anguy cattle. If the crushed barely doesn't produce desired weight look at earlage corn silage , ir steam rolled corn or wheat or barely. Steam rolling or flake has great ROI.

Gates are vital to successful animal farming. Having the proper Gates, positioned in the proper places and functioning properly, makes animal farming much easier and simpler. And if you want to gauge the success of a farm look at its boundary Gates. If they are in good condition and functioning correctly, the farm is successful. But if the boundary Gates are in poor condition or not functioning correctly, then the farm has problems.

Interesting about the treatment of the barley. In my experience the risk of acidosis going straight onto Barley can be quite high. Untreated it’s obviously not as palatable as a feed with molasses in it. The risk is that one animal takes to it well before the others & gets too much.

Think the first job is bedding up for those beef animals. Why are they so dirty😳 Maybe worth bedding up with a few bales. Or clean out and start fresh.
