Roller Mixer
The industry Leader
We’ve combined the proven features and advan
tages of our Mix-All with a commercial grade roller
mill to give you the best portable roller mill feed
maker available today.
A Gehl roller mill produces a coarse feed of
precise particle size with reduced dust and “flour"
in the feed. That
means optimum gain
for your livestock.
£---*■ J *■
Nothing can maximize the return on investment in your dairy or beef feeding
operation like a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) feeding system. And nothing makes
TMR work better than a Gehl mixer feeder. Here’s why;
• Better Mixing Action • Unique four-auger design creates a double (igure-8
mixing pattern for fast and complete mixing of all feed ingredients.
• Energy Efficient - Planetary drive system requires less horsepower.
• Built To Last • Patented star couplers absorb shock loads by allowing the
bottom augers to flex, providing long service life.
• Six Sizes • From 150 to 500 cubic feet mixing capacities.
• Three Styles • Trailer type, stationary and truck-mounted units to fit your
operation.

facilities for the animal.
Pure bred bulls produced in the
project will be further distributed
to rural communities, to be used
for cross breeding with local
cattle, in order to improve milk
production in those communities.
Milk products are an important
component of the Egyptian diet,
especially for children. However,
production is not keeping pace
with the rapidly growing popula
tion and demand for dairy pro
ducts. Since Egypt has a very
small band of arable land (only
about 5% of the total land area of
the country is suitable for crop
production), the most effective
way to increase the availability of
milk and milk products is to
increase the productivity of the
dairy cattle.

been shown to do very well under
small farm conditions, producing
3 to 5 times the amount of milk as
local cattle, while consuming only
20 percent to 30 percent more
feed. The program of CEOSS will
not only provide improved cattle,
as a result of this shipment, but
CEOSS staff will train recipients
in the care and feeding of the
cattle, and will provide follow-up
contact with participating fanners.
All programs supported by
Heifer Project International
adhere to the principle of “Passing
on the Gift.” When a family
receives an animal, they agree to
pass on the first offspring of the
same sex to another needy family.
In this way, the gift is multiplied
through offspring, and the project
continues to grow with each pass
ing year.

Heifer Project International
(HPI) was founded in 1944, when
die first shipment of cattle was
sent to Puerto Rico. Many boat
loads of cattle were sent to Europe
as part of the war reconstruction
effort. By 1950, the program had
expanded to include all food, fiber
and traction animals, such as
