Vitamins, Minerals and Protein and Fly Control in Cattle Nutrition

Күн бұрынCows know what they love but they don't know what they need. Its up to us to provide them with the minerals, vitamins and protein that different environments can be lacking. Along with that responsibility comes fly control and ensuring a healthy place for them to live.

Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.

i have lots of old stories about cows and fences. the one i remeber most was a cow that got her head through the bottem of a slide. (no idea how the slide got in the pastur in the first place) she spooked and then the whole heard took off right through the fence. had to get horses and helpers to rope her and take the slide off. then move back into the pasture and rebuld the fence. what a day that was. i laugh now. you bring back lots of memeries. thanks mike.

We keep salt and mineral blocks out all year and protein tubs out in the winter. The cows do better by adding the tubs to their diet. We also feed grain and cattle cubes. Seeing your cow jump the fence made me think about a cow my sister once had, she would jump a fence anytime she wanted. My sister named her Crazy Jumper, but called her CJ. She could raise some big calves.

I love your channel, and I love you guys! I've been a farmer down here in northern Colorado my whole life, so your content really hits home for me. Right now, I'm working at a dairy, here in Pierce, and we are milking 6,000 head, 3 times a day. I run a Cat 950K loader during the fall/winter season. And I pack the pit with a 9520 John Deere for harvest. We put 1rst, 2nd, and 3rd cutting Haylage, in the pit, and bale our 4th cut. We do around 1,200 acres in Hay, and a little over 4,000 acres in corn silage. So I know what the farming life is. I get real excited when I see that you've posted a new vid.. and sometimes, I'm even a bit late for work, because of them. I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your stuff, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next video! So, hug your family for me, and keep doing what you do. Take care, be safe! Best regards, Kevin :)

Hi Mike , Another great video which I always look forward to watching . Pretty sad news down here in Australia which I know you can empathize with we are have a horrific drought here and the poor farmers and their live stock are suffering badly . There has been alot of funds raising from the community and the goverment has finally released a financial scemes offering to help our farmers but its to little too late. The Aussie spirit is shining through in helping our farmers by giving them donations and feed for the livestock too but that is very lkmited now too it is just a horrible and sac time which unfortunately is not uncommon down here . Coukd you please say a prayer for our farmers which would be gratefully appreciated. Take care and blessings to you all .-

On the first of Animal Science 114 in college, my professor re-stated things I guess I had known my whole life but never thought of in that context. What they said was that for output of any biological system to be maximized (weaning weight, reproduction, feed efficiency, etc.), four things have to be maximized (health, nutrition, management, and genetics). This video does a great job of showing people that cattle don't just get "some of this and some of that" for feeding programs. I know for a fact that a good mineral program can make a difference. Thanks Mike for showing folks who may not know that cattle producers spend great amounts of time and A LOT of money figuring out and executing proper nutrition programs to maximize that part of the equation. I saw a creep feeder in one of your pastures, what is your operation's creep feeding program?

From what I hear, it is very cheap to move freight by railroad, which might make it cost effective to move hay long distances by rail. We have a lot of pasture land in Eastern Oklahoma, particularly just outside of a tiny town of about 1600 people named "Westville". It is about twenty miles north of another small town of about 4500 people named "Stillwell". I read on the internet that they grow a variety of hay named "blue stem", or something like that around Westville. When we used to haul hay around Muskogee, Oklahoma we saw a lot of Lesbedesa and Fescue. They are supposed to be nearly as good as alfalfa. They're grown in a mix with grass. During the two years in which I worked hauling those square bales we only hauled alfalfa only once. It was grown on some bottom land near the Arkansas River. Just driving around in this region we see a lot of collections of 20 or 30 big round bales of hay that must have been sitting there for a good while. The hay meadows just outside of Westville are huge. Eastern Oklahoma in general produces a lot of hay.

Hi Mike...lots of things to consider, Might it be worthwhile to place the salt licks somewhere near (not too near) the fly sacks...so that they stand a higher chance of getting dusted? … or is that yet another way to distribute fertilizer? Terry

Thanks Terry. Hard to tell from the video but the fly bags were about 100 yards from the mineral on on the way to water. Hopefully they walk right by them. :). -Mike

Here’s how hard it is to get rid of flies. During the first Gulf War I was tasked to Displace and Relocate well West. We drove down sand roads for almost 24 hours, we stopped for fuel, if you couldn’t get done with personal need during that stop, to bad. When we got to our location there was nothing around us for 200 Miles. We got there in the middle of the night so we just set the guard and slept where we fell. The next morning we broke out chow and the Dad-blam Flies followed us. All I could think of was a million of the critters holding on the bottom of the truck, in the wind, yelling at the other Flies, “You can make Buzz Bomb, hold on man” “Oh no, Blue Bot, just couldn’t hold on, and he had 5,000 kids” They don’t have regular Flies there, they were absolutely maddening.

If the mineral supplement is a powder form have you thought about putting it in a trough so more cows can access it cheers
