Anyone interested in buying 2 Tom segura tickets this Saturday? Can't male it anymore Sept 28 7:30 p.m. Scotia Bank Arena Section 114 Row 13 Seats 3 and 4

@janvr Got her sold. Too nice of a cow for beef

@cows_mike Just beef her. She'll bring more.

Fresh cow for sale. 4th lactation ProCross cow. Udder is too mow for the robots so she won't work here anymore. 10,000kg average. Good solid cow for a parlor

@KellyCreekDairy Come and get her!!

@cows_mike Think a Delaval can attach her? 😉

Anyone in need of some silo doors? 2x2 doors. Most are still in the silos. $10 a door. Some good, some poor condition

ProCross 3rd lactation cow. On track to give 20,000kg this lactation.

@ayrporte Production comes with time when transitioning to robots. No parlor or tie stall can milk the same number of cows 3x with the same limited man hours. Robots have their place

It's really entertaining watching robot herd producers justifying their purchase. When tiestsll n parlors have surpassed that milk production a decades ago

@jzantinge2 That's bigger than we need. Not using it to feed, more so for barn chores and cleaning pens

@cows_mike I would like one able to handle an 8' grapple bucket and carry 2 silage bales safely:)

What's everyone's go to for smaller payloaders around the farm? ~60 hp range, skidsteer attachments, and low enough to get into barns with 8ft doors? Looking to replace a 6430 loader tractor

@janvr Probably need telescoping for loading square bales in the field?

@cows_mike Payloader with Telescopic boom Is nice I wouldn't go without But if you don't need the height Not having it will make your loader faster Up and down What I've been told. So brantwise I would go with whomever you get the best service from. on my farm it runs 4 hours a day.

@KellyCreekDairy Renting the same from a friend for a few weeks. Works pretty good, but price tag is steeper than I thought

@cows_mike We have a Deere 304k. Works very well, small and nimble for on farm work and feeding.

@Brian27563742 Would save a lot of hours on the skid steer. Too many days I need a smaller machine or second skid steer vs needing a second loader tractor

@cows_mike Payloader would be much easier getting in and out of too. As the years go by I find it harder and harder to get in and out of skid loader. I've fell more than once over the years.

@Farmertom7 We have a decent sized skidsteer but payloader would handle most of its jobs way better too

@cows_mike Had the telescope boom. I didn't really use it , but could see how it could be handy. A big skid steer is outrageous and I really don't like driving them. The payloader is so easy and quiet.

@Farmertom7 With a telescope boom or no? I've never looked at payloaders much but I think it's time. Renting a Deere from a friend for a few weeks and what a difference, but $$$$

@cows_mike I demoed a JCB 220 this summer. It fit everywhere for pens and had plenty of power and traction. If milk price was better I would love to buy 1.

@RSHFarms Worried about mold or hoping to plants keep it out? We are trying salt before we cover one bunker this year

@cows_mike That's the plan. Feed the top to cows.

I don't know if this will work but I'm we'll find out

Is anyone in the Ingersoll area looking for a night milker? We have a 14 yr old who is looking for his first job

Cleaned up some 3rd cut before the rain today #claas #jaguar #casih #oxbo @cows_mike

@DaleKloepfer Maybe if I classify and get an excellent cow!

@cows_mike Beer on ice?
