Grinding feed

I got busy this week and didn't get posting done - so I'm catching up!!!


On Wednesday, Jimmy found that he was close to the bottom of the store of ground feed for the cattle, so he acquired the parts to make a new "batch" - corn from Edward, soybean meal from Southern States (I think), and alfalfa hay from the barn. On Thursday morning, Dwayne and Jimmy started with the grinder to grind and mix it all up - I got there in time to help with putting some of the alfalfa into the grinder. Then Jimmy backed the grinder into the barn and transferred the ground feed into the holding tank.
Examining the ground meal to see if the individual parts were distinguishable

Making sure that none was getting caught up on the sides as the feed was being transferred

Transferring into the storage tank

Pushing the ground meal to fill more evenly in the storage tank
