That's a gathering chain off of a combine.

@komitadjie 7 месяцев назад

That first piece of chain they found is a gathering chain for a corn header on a combine, I think!

@user-fb3yy6xk9p 7 месяцев назад

Ya the chain looks like it came off of an old corn picker. Probably a one or two row picker.

@sunnyday5621 7 месяцев назад

Just a heads up. It is better to feed the sheep well during early development of lambs, as it will prevent absorption of the fetuses, then all of a sudden, your ewes are not pregnant. You back off on the feed during the last 4 weeks, by 25-30% for 2 reasons. It will keep the lambs from getting too big and make it harder for them to deliver. Second, Too rich of a diet during the last 4 weeks, can set your ewes up for Pregnancy toxemia, which is lethal for the ewes and lambs. So, make sure the lambs are well established by feeding them well now. I hope this helps.

You comment on the sheeps. What about the cows? They look very skinny and permanently look for food. Is that the brand or would they need more food?

@RoBA7 7 месяцев назад

@@primer50 Well, we used to have milk cows when I was a child…. But it is not only the skinnyness. I never see them eat, there is no grass growing (nor really was in the summertime) and when they get treats they get very little but they always come running (for food?). It is just that other farmer show food lefts over to show the cattle can not be too hungry;) But I understand it is none of my business. You commenting on the sheeps triggered my writing. But in fact, I do hope they know the cows needs.

@sunnyday5621 7 месяцев назад

@ABR7777 A Jersey cow will always look skinny. It is their breed. This breed needs grain to produce calves and A2/A2 milk, and for proper joint and lung health. If you wait to breed them at 2 years old instead of 15 months, they will produce calves for an additional 4-6 years. The bulls and steers will muscle up and fatten. The bulls were used as oxen to pull Conestoga wagons. When harvested, their fat is yellow and tastes like butter. I could go on and on, but it may bore you.

It's great watching your videos, Evan & Rebekah/Rebecca (I don't know which spelling you use). Just thinking about your water costs, with your bank barn & pole barn (and even your house) you could consider a water storage system to provide "free" water for the pastures. Enjoy slowing down for winter, though I suspect you'll have some interesting projects for the season.

@CountryViewAcres 7 месяцев назад

The animals in summer go through about 150 to 200 gallons of water a day. The water hydrants are already in the pasture and easy to use. About 1000 feet of water lines would need to be trenched in, as well as a permanent water pump and water filtration system. That's just a not a simple task. Using the existing water is the easy way to do it.
