  • In today’s video we look at some of the products and practices we use as we feed our beefing cattle. Irish farmers produce some of the best quality beef in the world. This doesn’t happen by accident. Feeding a high quality balanced TMR (Total mix ration) plays a vital role. Let’s take a look.....

    Well Gerry great video, have u ever thought of just buying a mixed finished ration from a mill and simply feed it with silage or is it just cheaper to make up your own ration when all costs and time is considered. I d be very curious of the cost comparison of both methods of finishing cattle

    When do you normally introduce beet into their diet Gerry? Cattle are looking well. I hope you get on well with them with the way the price of meal / fertiliser is going at the moment. Hope you and family have a great Christmas. #Team Green 🟢🟡

  • @seosamhogmacanfhaili6367
    @seosamhogmacanfhaili6367 2 года назад +3

    Enjoyed that video. With the way things are going, what options are available for putting through the feeder? When finishing off cattle, what would happen if you put in a high amount of beet into their feed. Would it affect their protein levels?

    You should have done all the mixes you do for the cattle

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  2 года назад

      That mix is fed to most cattle. The smaller cattle only get silage, wheat and pot ale. It’s not a very exciting mix

      Lorry load. 26 ton usually. The binder is from altech. Great product

  • @yeracj2799
    @yeracj2799 2 года назад +2

    Hi Gerry, Really interesting video.
    2 questions
    1. How does the Bicarbonate of Soda come in. 25kg bags or bigger.
    2. Where do you get the pot ale syrup? Does it keep well?
    Thanks

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  2 года назад +2

      Yes come in 25 kg bags. I’m sure u could get it in bulk bags if you needed larger amounts.
      Pot ale comes from uk. It keeps ok short them but if left for prolonged period(over summer) it can crust over and become problematic when getting it out of the tank. But it’s good feed. Very hard to get now. We struggle to get it

  • @Andaman1979999
    @Andaman1979999 2 года назад +2

    How do you keep the cattle from choking on the potatoes? especially the smaller the smalller taters they try to eat without chewing

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  2 года назад

      Small ones are the issue. Seed size. Luckily we don’t get much of them small ones…. We don’t have many choking issues thankfully

    Great video Gerry, just curious do you have to clean out feed area before you feed again or do cattle clean it out completely?

    • @gerry6420
      @gerry6420  2 года назад +1

      Cattle will clean it completely as a rule. Although once a month we scrape out the corners of the feed boxes. We get a very small build up of dry material. So it’s not too bad

      When their diet is right, they never get too dirty. Also if you Havnt enough cattle in the pens they won’t stay clean.
