To encourage them in they have the brush things. While they stand there being washed and scrubbed, they get milked. Fab!

An awful lot of dairy cows have something like that somewhere in the yards, the main problem with providing one for beef cattle would be where to put it, bearing in mind that even in summer dairy cows are in yards twice a day whereas yours will be out & probably miles away, it's where to put one in a field, I have heard of scratching posts for sheep, but securing something like that in a field for cattle would be difficult.

I'm going to have a look at one on Wednesday Itsy, have you ever seen them used with beef cattle? Surely they would like it just as much as the dairy cows Oh, we've just had a thought, wonder if their horns would be a problem Back to top bronskibeat Joined: 09 Sep 2007 Posts: 1493 Location: Clawddnewydd Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2007 1:56 pm    Post subject: Oh thats just excellent!! Do you reckon she's the only one that uses it? How on earth did they get them to use it in the first place? I have a dog that would love one for Christmas Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Poultry Keeper Forum Index -> Smallholder animals All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
