The most expensive days on our farm. Feeding Barley. Farm King Rollermill.

#albertafarm #farmwork #cattlefeed Cattle are expensive to feed. Today we rolled some barley because next week we will start to feed the cattle herd. Barley per bushel is selling for $8.95-10.00. What's a bushel? Depends on what crop you are measuring, but barley is about 48 pounds in a bushel. That would fill more than a 5 gallon pail. So, in case you are interested, the truck holds 300 bushels heaping full. That's about $2700 rounded up, per truck load. It takes two truck loads to fill that bin and that lasts about 2 weeks. We will be feeding cattle from mid-November until end of April or when the green grass comes. Barley isn't the only feed we provide the cattle, we also give them grass hay and green feed bales. Thanks for watching, Annette
