"The beauty of it is that all of the nutrition stays out in the field. You don't have to haul any manure."

Market Gap

High costs of winter feed and nutrient loss in livestock operations.

Winter feed costs are often a significant drain on a ranching operation's profitability. Many ranchers face the challenge of efficiently using feed resources while ensuring their cattle receive the necessary nutrition during the harsh winter months. Conventional feeding methods, such as feeding in corrals, lead to nutrient loss and increased costs due to the need for manure hauling. Additionally, poor management during winter can negatively impact soil health and long-term productivity. Without effective grazing management, ranchers risk profitability and sustainability.

Summary

The Bale Grazing Management System offers a solution for ranchers looking to minimize winter feed costs while enhancing soil health. This system involves strategically placing bales in the field to allow cattle to graze directly on them, which retains nutrients in the soil and reduces the need for hauling manure. By keeping the bales in the field, ranchers can effectively utilize the nutrients contained in the hay while also improving soil organic matter through manure distribution. This method can result in better pasture conditions and, in some cases, increase forage production by several times. The system is ideal for ranchers wanting to implement regenerative practices that enhance profitability while managing winter feed resources more efficiently.

Chaff Piling and Supplement Integration Tool

The Chaff Piling and Supplement Integration Tool is designed for ranchers looking to optimize their winter feeding strategies by utilizing crop residues, particularly chaff, from grain harvests. This tool helps farmers create a system to collect and pile chaff along with green leaves from winter crops, allowing cattle to graze on this feed during the winter months. The system integrates a low-cost feeding strategy by providing necessary energy supplements alongside the chaff, resulting in a cost-effective feeding solution that maximizes the use of farm resources. By promoting the efficient use of crop waste, ranchers can enhance soil health while significantly reducing winter feeding costs.
