Calf Warming Boxes

[farmaholic]

50% new crop peas without AOG is suicidal after last year's experience here.

Would have liked to do a new crop flax contract with a line Co., no AOG-NO THANKS.

Just my two cents.

I think you're $2 high on wheat. Pretty close on the rest.

Where you seeing OC bids for yellows at $9?
In southern AB prices have backed off to $8 now.

Love our Hot box and have had this one for years.

Zee Tee Enterprises Nanton Alberta.

Great to have calf in Hot box with a grated floor for the calf to lie on and have the 220 heater blow the hot air up and underneath the calf. Used it only a couple of times this year but does save calves.

Will put them in there and feed them their first milk and leave them in it all night.

Nice dry calf in the morning and ready for Momma.

I believe there is a newer one that is on hinges which makes sense to drag a calf onto the floor and then close the lid and do the same thing.

Futures for Kansas wheat is 40 cents higher July 15 vs 16. I'd be a seller if that translated to our cash price.

I wonder what kind of hot boxes the moose, elk and deer use....

feed barley forward price dec 15 $250 port equates to $220 on farm will be a incremental seller once $258 is hit.

many traders suggesting barley feed will be the big mover in 15 because of chinese issues and policy and gm corn concerns, not sure whats going on exactly Charlie or errol care to comment

Sometimes mother natures warmingbox does not work either!A few years ago we had a snowstorm at the end of April beginning of May and it got cold and windy and we picked up a bunch of dead frozen bison babys as even they could not make it A large ranch near my place used a schoolbus withouth seats right out in the field and used it as a warming box and it worked quite well when you get 30 calves a day at the peak or in this instance in a spring blizzard you cant leave it up to mother nature or your gone!

Damn the school bus is a great idea. Sounds like something to send into farmshow.

In our part of the world, moose, elk, deer start calving in mid to late May after the danger of deadly snow storms, I have never seen their calves with frozen ears or frost bite ...
