the feed has traveled the full
length of the trough, a mech
anism rolls the cover over
and dumps the whole load
evenly.
Hofmeister recommended
feeding all ‘the silage that
animals will clean up in 1-lVa
hours, and doing this at least
thiee times a day. He said
they’ll eat better if fed fre
quently and will perform
more uniformly. “Every ani
mal should have 100 m to eat
at the same time; they don’t
want ‘mouthed-over’ feed,” he
said.
Has suggestion on feeder
space was 2V Z linear feet for
large m’atuie animals, and 2
feet for medium-sized ones
He felt the production gained
from giving those extra few
feet to cover all cows would
pay for the extra feeder space.
SPECIALIST TREND
Hofmeister told the group
he sees a definite trend in
the specialist feeding of beef.
For example, one farmer will
take young stock and' push
forage till the animals weigh
800-500 pounds. Then the next
specialist will take over and
fatten the animals for mar
ket. Both of these operations
will be done on an increas
ingly larger scale, and each
will require different and
specialized equipment.

Several impoitant factors in
laying out a feed lot were
presented by the equipment

2 Direction of feeder
should be noith and south so
that the sun can shine on
both sides equally This will
help to dry the feedlot in
summer, and thaw feed and
manure in winter.
3 Drainage should
run along side of silo and
away from feeder.
