Anything goes for cows. :drink:
A local ranch here uses tree trimming chips to form the base of their winter feedlot piles, then hog fuel and sawdust on top. That's where I used to dump all my chips.
I'm sure people make it work for them. If I have an area that's persistently muddy. I've always put gravel there and I have plenty of chips around yet have to buy gravel in by the expensive truckload. Just seems like if a spot is muddy. Dumping chips on the mud is short term gain for long term pain.
I have composted a huge amount of wood chips on my place. Makes great soil over time. And I also compost my horse manure. My new raised beds I put in last year are lasagna layered with some of both.
I'm just curious about people putting them in horse stalls. Wanting a bunch of wood chips...
I know some people will use wood chips around a place for mud. But that never made any sense to me. Wood chips are part of the recipe for mud.
I use sawdust for bedding and if a area needs fill I use gravel. Otherwise it's just dirt/grass and why bother putting wood chips on it?
It would be cool if viable. I had a neighbour as a kid that did horse logging for his main income. It was super cool but not to profitable I think for most involved. A labor of love.
I had a quarter horse/Percheron cross for a couple of months. Charlie. He was cool as f-ck. But unfortunately he was lame and the seller took him back. They couldn't grab him for a couple of months so he stayed with us. To the sellers credit they even paid us board for the time he was with us...
Atleast you know where he lives right?
Pita. Hope it all gets straightened out. Funny how people lose motivation to do what they said they would once they've already spent the money.
Nice Brian. Great to read things are going well. I'm kind of jealous of that new clutch. Both of my plow trucks are nearly there, but for me clutches are like tires i just loath replacing them before they are right done. As in not holding air, or not moving the truck. Yes it's bit me in the ass...
Nine times out of ten replacing that plastic bushing will be enough IMe. Over the past decade I've run a '92 f350 and a 95 f350 both as standards for commercial plowing. Going forward and backwards a thousand times a night can wear one of those plastic bushings out in a season. Aft r lots of...
