46 units in a 50 kg bag . 500kg over 15 acres would be around 30 units

50 kg per 1.5 acres is 30 units

48 units in 50kgs of urea.

48 divided by 50 equals 0.96 units in a kg.

30 units divided by 0.96 equals 31.25kgs.

--------------------------------------------

48 divided by 30 equals 1.6.

100% divided by 1.6 equals 62.5%

50kgs x 0.625 = 31.25 kgs

-----------------------------------

375kgs divided by 31.25 equals 12 acres

Looks like a poster for diabetes.

Some say someone who makes a living from serial objections.

Google the name.

Is the cage that goes in front of it necessary ?

I’ve seen that type gate on English farms and it’s what I was thinking would suit best but never knew the name of it

Nope, only if you have the wildest of wild cattle.

Open the gate half way and the see the opening they will catch at the shoulder. As they are walking/ running you can adjust the opening and lock. Works very well with a sliding back gate behind the first animal.

she started out as a green but could not get on the ticket with them so jumped ship as she only does whats best for her career and she is anti farming which is ok as every body is entitled to have there views but she comes across to be a farming friend but her policy and actions are all the opposite i rather back somebody who follows through on what they set out in there political leaflet

Bought the basic cattle master classic crush nearly twenty years ago, best thing i ever bought. It’s eight feet long and has a sliding gate at the back. There’s a handle at the back to open and close the head gate. Both sides top and bottom open out to suck a calf or do a section. Cattle always think they can get through the gate, just close it at the right time. A lot of cows stop at the right place and wait for it to be closed. The only problem i had was catching a cow with big horns, if she got her shoulders out she was gone and had to be put round again but that is rare. I use it for dehorning calves also.

i think you can buy the gate and handle on its own and fit to an existing crush.

Dairy cows can be cute out

we’ve no bother with first calvers but once they get that first year milking over them they get wise

we end up using the next cow to push the front cow into the gate

The local co op branch is less than 2 miles from her door she was in one day and a farmer had heard her on the radio about emission so he came over and ask how were the cows doing all the damage she would not engage to which the farmer said so is sf6 gas doing no damage every one deserves a lucky break next election is just around the corner she was top of the count in her parish last election which is Kilcoe and lisheen schools cannot see her been in the top 3 this time as people judge people on actions not words

I've seen Michael Collins and others at many farm events and open days in west Cork. Never seen herself around apart from a few staged photo shoots.
