If you have anything you think I should add (I'm sure I missed things) please post it in this thread. Please keep them cattle related though.

you need pics of your trailers.an a pic of your silage chopper.as well as silos.i love your milk tank.what size is it.it looks tobe about a 400 to 500 gal tank.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

I took a pic of the chopper/corn head on but, missed it in all the pics.

By trailers you mean? I have a flat rack for hay, thrower hay rack, and chopper box. If you mean the flat trailer, it's loaded with junk. I had taken a pic of it so I added it as a trailer load of junk!

Silos? I hadn't even considered them. Raining here today so it'll either wait or I'll have to google them.

Bulktank is 400 gal. It's milk truck day, do you want to wash it?

 

[wynedot55]

yeah ill wash your milk tank.tyours is easier to get in an out of.ours was a 1000 gal milk tank.an it was a bugger to climb in an out of for a good scrubbing.was talking bout your flatbed an cattle trailers.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

No cattle trailer. But, I will google one. Flatbed is the one full of junk.

 

[wynedot55]

so yall hire your cows an calves hauled to the sale.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

CattleTrailer-done!

Hire for the cows. All our bull calves, except an occasional odd one, go to SIL and her husband who steer them. We keep the heifers.

 

[wynedot55]

we hire all our cattle hauled to the sale.an when i buy reg cows i usually have friends that will haul them for me.

Does anyone here milk with either Surge or DeLaval buckets? I will check their web-sites and google but we need pics of cows being milked with them for the Equip. Page. I will also be taking one of milking a cow with the pipeline. If you milk with either Surge or DeLaval and would like to submit a pic post it here.

Well I see a few things you missed:

-Harrows
-Front-end loader (necessary for bales)
-Forage harvester (pull-type and self propelled)
-Silage dump wagon
-Combine (pull-type and self propelled; though I see you have the self-propelled combines)
-Bale shredder
-Grain truck and/or silage truck
-Air seeder w/ or w/o anhydrous tank
-Auger
-grain bin with or without a hopper bottom
-creep feeder
-squeeze
-crowding tub
-also a few different hay mowers too, can't think of them off-hand though
-loading chute (portable)
-there's also those rollers too, those big field rollers that pack down the earth after a crop is planted...
-emasculator, burdizzo (sp??), elastrator, etc.
-calf table
-hoof trimmer

That's about all I can think of...I was going to say you should also include a cab-over tractor too, only put in a Case IH magnum, just for me.
