Lord Ferguson Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Great shots.. .thanks for posting... pardon my ignorance... but we have very little beet around here... so is the wagon chopping it up... for feed Or was it chopped before it goes into the wagon by the red thing Please explain the process if you will Thanks once again by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Chopper came off the back of feeder wagon which is powered by pto, but we bought it as a seperate put on a set of wheels on it. The Keenan will chop the beet but takes so much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Smart effort on the camera,realy. what will eat the beets? do they like it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Smart effort on the camera,realy. what will eat the beets? do they like it? very rare to find a cow or sheep that doesn't like fodder beet go mad for it , even funnier to see cattle get to a sugar beet clamp & gorge themselves , very funny trying to round up drunk heifers :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefocus Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 the cattle wont touch the maize and grass silage till the all fodder beet is gone, they have to push up the grub out out of the feed passage a couple of times a day as they try to get every last morssel.

MJB1 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 considering the cost of feed ,these machines are being pulled out from the back of sheds & nettles to be given a new lease of life as fodder beet is now a cheaper alternative, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Interesting,back when I feed a few 000 sheep I found once a ewe had lambed that they went off the turnips or swedes and would eat the grass that was sown in the mix frist. How do beets work out aganst maize silage? any one know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
