Mineral Feeders to your Livestock Healthy

Posted on November 16, 2010 by Rob

Barn World offers a large selection of mineral feeders and one of the most popular is the Upright Mineral Feeder from Tarter. This cattle supplement feeder is overbuilt and will take years of abuse from the elements and your largest livestock out in the field.

Below is a picture of a feeder with the optional face fly kit installed.

Benefits of Mineral Feeders

Health

Your livestock need precious supplements year-round. These nutritional feeds can help maintain overall health and promote healthy weight gains at the same time. When natural grass or hay is scarce, this feeder will make sure your animals have the necessary nutrients.

The optional Face Fly Control Kit offers relief from annoying, disease carrying pests. As your animals go into to eat the minerals, their face comes into contact with the hanging mop. It spreads your pest control product from the tip tank, onto the mop and covers the face of your animals.

It’s a simple and effective means of helping to prevent common problems like pink eye and other contagions that can be carried by flies.

Strength

This feeder is made with a very heavy-duty, 2″ round pipe frame. It’s literally one of the heaviest on the market today. All of the metal is covered in a powder-coat red finish for extra toughness and longevity.

Stability

The incredibly wide base creates a 48″ wide foot print to prevent tipping. The very low center of gravity further enhances the overall stability. You don’t want your cattle to be able to tip over the feeder so it’s design as low and wide as is practical.

There are two stand designs to choose from. Both the square base and the skid configuration provide strong vertical support. The skids allow for easy movement to new locations and pastures where it’s needed.

The feeder also includes a rotating poly hood that moves on a heavy duty sealed bearing. The hood can turn 360 degrees and will keep it’s back to the wind when it blows. The rotating cover has an overhang that will protect your precious minerals from the rain as well.

Specifications

13 gallon capacity inside the tub of the hood
The hood opening measures 28″ x 24″
Powder coated steel frame
Wide base for extreme stability is 48″ square
Overall height is 56 inches
Hood turn 360 degrees on a heavy duty sealed bearing
Weighs approximately 76 pounds

Creep feeders for all your livestock

Posted on November 11, 2010 by Rob

Creep feeders are essential for increasing weight gain and making sure your animals get the supplements and nutrition they need.

Goat Creep Feeders

Creep feeding is a means of providing supplemental feed for nursing kids. It is an essential component of an accelerated kidding and/or early weaning management program. It increases pre-weaning weight gain, especially for kids reared as a twin or triplet. Kids will reach a target market weight and can be marketed at a younger age. All Barn World goat creep feeders are built with a covered shelter to keep feed dry.

Calf Creep Feeder
Creep feeding helps get your calves ready for market sooner in high quality condition. Creep feeding also assures less strain on your brood stock. Healthy brood stock means better quality calves year after year. All calf creep feeders come standard with a gray enamel finish.

Deer Creep Feeder

Nutrition is the key to successful wildlife and game management. And nothing is more important than protein. Protein is absolutely essential to the health of your entire herd and to the potential for trophy bucks. Whitetail deer need protein all year round, especially after the rut and during the critical 200-day antler-growing period. This is where a deer creep feeder is especially important. Protein feeding is the ideal complement to natural forage.

Visit Barn World online and see our selection of creep feeders explore all your livestock equipment needs.

Poly Grain Bins Have Some Advantages over Metal Bins

Posted on November 11, 2010 by Rob

Poly Bulk Grain Bins have a lot of advantages over the traditional metal grain bin designs. Consider a poly den when making your next purchase decision.

Bulk grain storage is a necessity when working with large quantities of feed. Traditional metal grain bins been around for decades and are traditionally thought of as the standard in the industry. New polyethylene materials have made the plastic grain bin design a stout competitor to metal.

Benefits of a Poly Grain Bin

Large poly grain bins are a great choice for handling high moisture materials such as soybeans and corn. The high density polyethylene is translucent so unlike its metal counterpart, you may see the levels remaining in the bin at a quick glance.

The walls are created with a UV treated, high density material that is 3/16 inches thick. It will never corrode and is impervious to rusting you can expect long life out of these bins.

The simple assembly is also major improvement over the metal grain bin design. Typically, the metal bins are made up of corrugated sheets of steel that require many nuts and bolts to assemble. This poly design includes one upper and lower section that bolt together in the middle. It’s like putting one ice cream cone on top of another and makes assembly quick and easy.

Assembled Grain Bin

This design also creates a smooth interior wall all the way to the hopper which helps reduce bridging. The lack of bolts coming through to the interior of the bin eliminates any flow issues.

Grain Bin Options

These large bins are of course available with an optional auger system is a mechanical means of unloading is required. The auger attaches to a collar and unloading boot just like the metal bins. Auger lengths go all the way up to 6 inches in diameter and a maximum of 21 feet in length.

They come standard with a ladder, a ground operated bin lid and the choice of manual slide valves if desired.

When buying a new, take a look at our poly grain bins and let us know if we can put together a quote for your review.

Livestock Waterers

Posted on November 10, 2010 by Rob

Livestock waterers are important for keeping your animals for health and weight gain. Barn World has a wide selection of livestock waters for all you animal waterer needs.

Open Waterers

These waters have an open trough for easy access for large or small groups of animals. They keep fresh water in front of your animals at all times but connecting directly to your water line with a float. As the water rises, the float goes up and closes off the supply to the waterer. Whenever water is consumed, it’s automatically replenished

Closed Waterers

This design protects the water from exposure to the elements including pests. Sometimes the sun can promote algae growth right your animals water supply.

The coverage also prevents evaporation, debris accumulation and keeps it protected from dust and anything else that might be floating around in the air. They’re great for high traffic areas where dust is being kicked up or sun exposure and algae is a problem.

Construction

The waterers are made with UV-resistant polyethylene. This material allows for completely smooth edges which make for easy cleaning. It’s able to take a lot of abuse from large herds without denting.

The material is impervious to rust, corrosion feed lot acids. These are built to be long-lasting and durable water supplies.

They come with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty too!

Installation

A properly installed waterer provides a lot of benefits. Two of the best are: ease of use and the ability to automatically provide continuous water to large herds.

The secret of the waterer is the water supply. The line is run underground, below the frost line. It’s then run up an insulated tube to the trough so it works even in freezing temperatures.

Below is a generic installation diagram that shows how well the system is designed.
