Feeder Facts The feeder is made of
heavy square tubing with each panel weighing approximately 600
lbs. Profit Plus will feed livestock weighing 300
lbs. to adults, including herd bulls.
Profit Plus is built to last for years
yet is designed to let livestock self-feed until the food is
cleaned up to minimize waste. If you are currently
unrolling round bales as much as 20% is lost to waste.

Filling the Feeder The Profit Plus
Feeder can be filled from either the end or side with tub
ground bales or un-ground round or large square bales. It
will work with either operation.
With the Profit Plus system, you can feed
150 head in five minutes. No need to start a tractor and
feed wagon every day on those cold, snowy days. Grind once
every 10 to 15 days or fill the unit with the un-ground round or
large square bales. Waste will be kept to 5% or less.
First Feeding
On the initial feeding, cattle will feed from
all four sides. The stop pins do not need to be moved for
approximately three days, until feed is cleaned up on all four
sides to your satisfaction. |

The Next Feeding Moving the
"Control Pins" forward to the next "Stop Hole" will take
about five minutes. Feed does not need to be raked down, as it
will self feed to cattle as they slide the panels forward.
If you are not available to to feed, one of the kids can
pull the stop pins and move them to the next hole. The unit is
simple enough for a kid to operate. |
|
|
|
|
The Control Element |
|
 |
|
Control Pins and Stop Holes allow panel to
slide forward to "Stops". This allows total control and
management in feeding your herd.
Don't pull the stop pins until cattle have cleaned up to your
satisfaction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Refilling the Feeder
After approximately 10 to 12 days, you can
schedule your next grinding date.
Profit Plus can be filled at any time. You do not have
to wait until it is empty. If a storm is in the forecast,
you may want to fill early.
It is best before filling the feeder to always clean the
manure away.

Round bales utilized in feeder
|
Calves Adjustable cables can be used if
small calves are present. This will keep them from crawling into
the feed area.
Current method of feeding ground hay with electric fence, allows
calves to get in the feed area and soil hay with excrement, whichsoon
stops any feeding cows. |

Convenience
Tradition has long held that
feeding close-up cows in the evening would help bring on calving
during daylight, when management is relatively easier.
In a study of 1,331
cows on 15 Iowa farms, feeding once daily at dusk, caused 85% of the
calves to come between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The effect held true
even when cows weren't started on evening feeding until the week
before calving started. (Practical Health, February 1999,
Page 4)
The Profit Plus
Feeder makes it convenient and practical to feed your herd after
6 p.m. for better calving management.
