Getting Setup for Grazing Season!

Spring is Finally here!!
Time to get ready for the Grazing season, we are excited to share some new products!

The DC Solar Water Wagon is a product we have been utilizing on our cattle operation for the last couple years. We have put it through the test and are happy to offer it as a solution for your mobile cattle watering needs. It has been beneficial to us because we no longer battle with foot rot on pasture, and our calves seem healthier and gain better because their mothers aren't covered in mud. Its portability makes it convenient to move with our cows as we graze different spots on our pasture. There is also government funding for the water wagon depending on your location.

We are also very excited to share the Tire Winder! The tire winder fills a need we have had for a long time, making dealing with temporary electric fences fast and simple.

The Advantage Feeders are definitely not a new product for us but they are an important part of our grazing operation. This time of year our focus is to get the calf rumens devoloped more quickly through grain feeding which helps them break the pasture down more efficiently. We like to get our calves on grain as quick as we can for this reason. To help achieve this we put the feeder close to where the cows get mineral and/or water. Personally we open the settings on the creep feeder to give them generous access to the feed in the lick area behind the trough. We also put a bit of calf starter and maybe some diatomaceous earth in the trough to entice the calves. For more information on early rumen devlopment and control feeding options with the creep feeder check out www.advantagefeeders.ca.

We have been using the AmeriAg mineral feeder for quite a few years and are very happy with how well it works. It is a simple but sturdy design that is portable, keeps mineral dry and greatly reduces waste. We use this mineral feeder for calves, cows and even bulls.
