Waterers Meet Dairy Needs
CARLISLE, lowa Working
with dairy officials, Noland Sys

line of Jugs to water dairy
livestock.
There are three models avail
able: the 101 DA with one drink
ing station, the 202 DA with two
drinking stations, and the 404 DA
with four drinking stations.
The Jug has proven itself to be a
trouble-free, energy efficient, and
helps provide a year-round supply
of fresh water for all types of
livestock.
To obtain dairy approval, the
following features were
incorporated:
• No back-siphoning. The
dairy approved Jugs maintain a
minimum air gap of one inch

between the water level in the tank
and the water inlet. As a result,
back-siphoning of water is pre
vented even if the float valve
should become stuck wide open
with an inlet pressure of 80 psi.
This keeps potentially tainted
water from flowing back into the
farm water supply which could
contaminate milk and milk equip
ment. This protects Jug users’
families as well.
• Inspection cover. The dairy
approved Jug is outfitted with an
easy-to-remove inspection cover
so that milk inspectors can see the
water inlet and air gap without
having to remove the lid. Two
wing nuts keep the cover tightly
sealed when the Jug is operating.

Recently F.M. Brown’s area
directors completed a three-day
intensive training program on beef
feeding and management.
The principle seminar speaker
was Dr. Dan Fox, professor of ani

Other speakers included Dr. Wal

Dr. Carl Brown, sales manager for
approved Jug has a sloped design
to lead spillover away from the
Jug water source. This prevents
runoff water from filling the cavi
ty under tank, providing addition
al protection for the farm water
supply.
• Standard features. The
water from the Jug is fresh and
clean because of the unique draw
tube/trap design which keeps feed
debris from accumulating in the
tank. Animals take to the Jug
immediately and drink from it in a
way that is natural to them.
Adjusting the water level for train

Fox started the program by dis
cussing the nutrient requirements
of growing and finishing steers.
He reviewed the Cornell Net Car
bohydrate and Protein System for
growing and finishing beef cattle,
and discussed how sex, frame
size, hide thickness/condition, and
actual dry matter intake
influenced nutrient requirements.
He emphasized how certain amino
acids affect composition of tissue,
and how knowledge of net energy

various input costs such as the cost
of silage vs shelled com greatly
influence the optimum economic
rate at which beef cattle should be
finished. Fox concluded his dis
cussion by reviewing the beef
cow/calf herd and the special
requirements of Holstein beef. He
emphasized there was excellent
opportunities for both operations
in eastern markets when they were
managed correctly. A videotape of
Fox’s comments is available for
F.M. Brown’s beef customers
through Brown’s area directors.
Peter Hausser of American
Cyanamid and John Osborne of
Diamond V Mills each reviewed
practical problems associated with
starting new feeder steers. Hauss
er showed that the use of Aureo S
700 Crumbles in receiving rations
results in $lO to $l5 higher return
per head. Osborne cited numerous
research studies which showed
stress steers nad improved appe
tites and increased disease resis

As part of the seminar, a tour
was held in the Fleetwood and

types of operations were
reviewed, including a beef finish
