I have seen the Same happen before on them

Interesting,I wouldn’t of had them by choice as original barn had galebreakers on but when it burnt down insurance replaced them with these as they were cheaper,anyhow I’ve got 10 replacement galebreakers in a box waiting to go up when the weathers better ??

Thanks, bit ocd but treat it like your own

Cheap tyre stores on the right

shoveling one of the ready bins for it's annual clean out.

I have a perfectly good sweep auger but it takes two people to use, one the watch it and the other to watch in the mill, and it stops me getting fat. 18 foot diameter bins have a lot of shoveling in them though.

would'nt it be better to take £ 1.50 to £3 claim on it than go to all that work for 1%

Looks a strange feeding setup? With a lot of hand work. For I’m guessing about 110 cows?
Small bales in the racks either side and what looks like a small feed passage with what looks like silage in the center.
Cows look happy and content though?

You must have a fair amount of spare energy. Two of those at my old work, one year the boss forgot about emptying them and you bet I didn't remind him.

Cattle cleanout time…

And the wheelbarrow

Normally I’d agree. Had we have had some dry and frosty weather by now, blowing cold air through the heap with my old 1963 Lister MEU through a tunnel under the heap in my on floor store, would have kept it all in good condition and I would have happily taken the claim as it would be about half the actual cost of drying.

However, lack of cold weather meant that I wasn’t able to blow it much if at all and its condition started to deteriorate. Especially the odd few bits that were over 16.5% moisture. So rather than take the risk of a rejection and because I’d got time to do it, the safest thing was to freshen it all up and shove it through the drier quickly. The burner ran for about half an hour with each load, so it didn’t cost much on gas and about half a tank of diesel in the 7740 with the PTO set on 1000rpm but actually running at 540 to run it.

Job done and no more worries., anyway.

Not a lazy mans feeding set up for sure. Feed passage is small for the Rovibec tmr feeder. Will get some pics of it today. Thats's right on the cow numbers. A little overcrowded at the moment. New barn in progress for the heifers and dry cows that mixed in there now.
Looks labour intensive but, is only the hay feeder and pushing up tmr that is manual. Awards on the wall in the milk house shows that the system pays off for him.
