It looks great and it seems to work well. A mineral bar is not a bad idea, but on the other hand if you would install several of those mineral stations at different locations it helps to spread the manure because the cow will do her nr 2 at different locations while she is licking the mineral, and it is also a bit of a stimulans for the cow to move around. I like those scratch brushes that they have for cows. Some folks make their own from brooms so that the cow can scratch herself when she is itchy. 👍
Thankyou! Spread out is a great idea. Or the bar could be mobile… eventually we want to get more view and do rotational grazing. I’m pretty sure some sort of cow scratch thing is on the list!
Nice job mate. Amazing what those blue drums can be turned into. 😂 One thing though - blocks are high in sodium. Not sure how long that steel will last. 🤔
My Grandfather arrived on the group settlement scheme in 1923 and named his first cows after his sisters back in England. Lilly, May, Rosie, Flo and Esther. Never mind his wife was also Flo and Rose was on the settlement.
Summer is VERY happy with that height. =D Walked right over and gave it a lick.
Cheers mate… been itching to get back into the shed!

Cow names always seem to be one or two syllables 🤔
Summer could be "summer rocks"
Haha! 🤘🤘🤘
You could always just abbreviate Summer's name to "SRP' 😁 Mr RP, Mrs RP & SRP
Oh we like that too 👍❤️
Mr Rockpile, that is amazing!!! However that bald head needs a hat sir!
😂😂 I agree! - Mrs RP
