Cattle minerals + other supplements !.....

Farming, tending cattle many times we need to purchase extra help for our herds ! Inoculation are plenty, Inquire about regimens, ALL needed yearly, specific information inquire.

We purchase many cattle supplements yearly, monthly that help nourish the cattle......The supplement blocks are wonderful for them....they lick these + enjoy them, helps them ! PLENTY brands everywhere in ALL these !!!

Mineral blocks -- purchase as needed throw out onto pasture, many as needed for size of herd....one block for every thirty head / cattle....

Salt block --- same as above, salt is necessary, once every couple months, throw out onto pasture land....

Wormer Cake --- treat herds one sack for thirty head / per cattle, ONLY do this two times 2 x year.......helps with worming ! NEEDED !

When we feed the cake, and Wormer Cake separately, we use feed truck pop box, dispenser, drive in straight line thru pasture, right along in a row, long ways !!! If NO feed truck pop box dispenser ? Have help driving, you set securely onto back of pick up truck pour slowly behind feed truck in row, be careful, drive, pour slow, all cattle follow behind enjoy in a long ways row !!! Simple.

Fly block --- same as above, as needed for flys ! They loch, enjoy goes interior their systems / top half hide, and raids / treats flys ! Safe, as needed, ok, for meat ingestion later after slaughter.......

Fly dust + bags --- these work well, we have used these before, fly dust interior the huge swaying bags, place tightly affixed between two trees, down low, or between two metal rods affixed properly interior ground ( driven ) down low, enough room the cattle can walk beneath it and between it, low enough it touches their backs, covers with dust, place fly dust interior dust bags tightly securely, be very CAREFUL affixing these so they will not empty and be everywhere !!!

Try to affix fly dust bags areas where cattle have already been walking, their cattle trails are best areas underneath shades best, they seem to enjoy scratching their top hides / backs underneath the fly dusting bags !!! Haha........These dust bags sway and are easily moveable, flimsy ! Work great for the herd to rid the flys !!! DO NOT use with a fly block !!! One or the other, NEVER the two at same time !   ;)

Fly spray for horses ---  is there, handheld interior canisters, works well liquid best ! Plenty brands ! Wear gloves as you spray the liquid horse spray onto their necks, back, hips, front half !!! NEVER spray onto their faces, NEVER their eyes, NEVER their nose, NEVER mouth !!! Be CAREFUL ! Pets control......

Blister beetles --- need to be watched for as often they dwell interior the horses hay / feed !!! If you see the blister beetles interior or exterior the hay THROW AWAY the hay !!! Kills horses if they ingest hay with the nasty blister beetles interior / exterior !!! WATCH for these nasty pests !!!

More farming later !   ;)
