Minerals; Take ninety-two point two

Minerals “Take” ninety-two

I have changed the use of Ancient Sequestered salt on my farm from how I started out half a dozen years ago. Because of a change in the information since I last wrote on this subject, I felt it only proper that I update and pass along the most current information available.

O

The tetter-totter of our mineral/toxin problem is typically too few and out of balance minerals andtoo high of levels of more and more toxins.

The revised information is below…Thank You Steve Campbell

In an effort to get rid of all of the dirty minerals that were going into my mineral program led me “out of China” to naturally clean sequestered sources of minerals for my animals.

However, as a farmer trying to regenerate the soil, Gabe Brown's talk was the highlight for me.

A more "Natural" weaning and handling process

I just ran across a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPsw3VfjH8s)  that explains what I have been doing for the past ten years at weaning time on my farm.

It is very amazing how "quiet" the weaning process is.

And a very nifty way to sort cows and calves can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4FUE-OrXRw.

And while we are on the topic of handling cattle, you really need to consider adding a Bud Box (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aniUeugrm8Y) to you handling facility.

An easy way to put up electric fence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2y_YcqYd3E) I adapted a 4 wheeler similarly in 1989.

Linear Measurement "Cowlipers" for sale

Harlan Doeschot, of Golden Link along with his sons measured a  lot of cattle over the years. One of the many correlations they found was that for each inch the Heart Girth exceeded the Top Line measurement, the animal had thirty-seven more pounds of red meat and it was actually cheaper to produce because of the "correctness" of the animal!

For each inch he/she was deficient they lost thirty-seven pounds of red meat production. What this boils down to is, you can determine the meat-to-bone ratio of your calves, yearlings, cows and bulls very objectively by going through this process. At retail grass finished beef prices, what does an extra 37, 74, 117 pounds bring back to you?

Linear Measurement can be used to determine if a 8 month old heifer calf is built for calving ease. Will a 12 month old bull calf possess enough masculinity to be fertile, durable and functional on your farm and improve all of his offspring along the way?

Along with the hardware, there will be a DVD in the Linear Measurement box with a 70 page pdf on linear measurement; why and how… three additional pdfs and two pages of field sheets, along with the 9 videos Gearld and I put on the web. Google youtube, Gearld Fry, Linear measurement
