Raising livestock comes down to in part their genetics and also their environment. The environment needs to provide high quality forage. Hay is one form of forage provided to a cow for winter feeding. To maintain the quality of the hay you have to store it properly. This video is all about showing one additional step in storing hay. And that step is to cover it with a hay tarp. The hay tarp protects the hay from getting wet. And by keeping it dry the nutrients of the hay is maintained.

In the trucking world we say a tight tarp is a happy tarp! (When it come to flapping in the wind, aerodynamics & water pockets)

Love watching your channel! I saw you use purina in the creep feeder for the calf’s but I was wondering what feed are you feeding out of the other automatic feeder for your mature calf’s and heifer’s!?

@PrideRanch Ай бұрын

Great question! I typically use a custom feed mix. I work with the Producere's co-op in my town. This approach requires me to order at least 4 tons at a time. And this time I only needed one ton. Also I typically don't give this feed to mature cows. It can be too expensive. And a mature cow has different protein and energy needs vs a growing heifer calf or bull calf. thanks for watching!

Nice! How many acres? I noticed you mentioned the North Pasture.

@PrideRanch Ай бұрын

My place is 100 acres. It's currently divided into 2 pastures..north and south.

They hay want mildew or mold under the tarp

No. It won't get wet.

How was the results of the hay samplings you taken ?

@PrideRanch Ай бұрын

Thanks for reminding me. It came out ok. I'll post a video about it.

@rayjohnson7886 Ай бұрын

@PrideRanch Solid you are welcome it's very impressive how your herd listens and comes when you call your hay gonna last longer sitting up high on them rocks that'll stop the water from backing upwards keeping the bottom from staying wet I'll be looking out for the video.

Are you Usually there for the birth of all of your calves, and if so, have you ever lost any in birthing of you calves ?

@PrideRanch Ай бұрын

thanks for asking! I'm not. I've been there for like 8 to 10 of them. I've never lost any during calving. I've lost 3 calves after they were born. One died within 3 days of birth and the other 2 died within 5 days.

@dasiegirl2347 Ай бұрын

So females have horns to?

@PrideRanch Ай бұрын

We call a female cow either a heifer or a cow. She is a heifer if she has never birthed a calf. Cows or heifers can have horns. I raise polled cattle. Polled cattle is one that naturally does not have horns.
