Cattle Shelter and Fencing Topics at Cattle Feeder Meeting
A Tuesday night meeting at the Farm and Home Center covered shelter fencing corrals and manure management for cattle feeders. Lester Burdette of Penn State discussed equipment for modern feeders and the economics of silo and sulfur use, noting shelter can raise feed efficiency but may not justify costly enclosed facilities. He urged dirt floors, simple ventilation, see through fencing, well designed corrals, a dedicated sick pen, and thermometer use to reduce losses. manure handling is now a major cost item influencing profitability.
