Home processing of feed has grown as electricity enables small hammer mills and mixers for automatic operation. One horsepower mills grind 100 pounds at 1 to 3 cents, while larger 3 to 7 horsepower units handle corn or roughage, using 1/10 to 3 kilowatt hours per 100 pounds. Ground feed moves via gravity chutes or a blown line to bins or mixers, with overload protections and automatic shutoffs for efficiency and safety.
