Rooster, well, if you have been around cows and still want to do that kind of work(full-time) you are sick in the head......grin
Try and grow 40 acres of silage corn every year. Silage mixes in well with the ground alfalfa, really helps to cut down on the dust and the cattle eat the hell out of it.
They filled the silo with "haylage" once. God what an awful, dusty mess when that comes down the shoot! They probably do at least 500 acres of corn. The rest is wheat/beans/barley/oats.
The oats get mixed with corn in a feed grinder and get poured over the top of the silage with a wheel barrow in the concrete bunk twice a day inside the feeder cattle barn.
