■ New Idea proudly announces an
all-new flail-type spreader which does
an excellent even-spreading job in sub
zero weather, or on shirtsleeve days. A
large steel hood covers the flails for
maximum safety and keeps flying ma
nure low where the wind cannot carry
it. We tested it on our torture track and
tested it on farms in sub-zero weather
to prove its ability to spread sloppy
manure without build-up, as well as
spread frozen manure.
The New Idea Flail Spreader has a
130 bushel capacity, and a low 53% "
profile for easy loading with barn
cleaner or hydraulic loader. It has a
water-repellent Penta-treated box, full
length steel flares, and many other long
life features. Heavy-duty conveyor is
standard; extra heavy is optional. Only
New Idea offers this years-ahead
spreader and dares to back it up with
a full-year guarantee the same as on
all New Idea spreaders. See it at

You'll need to feed some hay
if there's a snow cover on the
ground. However, don't feed
more than cattle will clean up.
This increases your costs. Rec
ords of Indiana beef cow own
ers show a ration consisting
entirely of premium quality
legume hay would cost about
$31 per head for a wintering
period of five months. When
only enough hay was fed to
meet minimum nutritional re
quirements, wintering costs
were about $26 or a savings
of $5 a head.
If cows cannot get sufficient
protein when there's a snow
cover on the ground, feed
some protein. The owner of
these cows has spread protein
cubes on the ground with the
hay being fed. Once the hay
is cleaned up it's easy for the
cows to pick up the protein
cubes.
Making complete use of crop
residues can be a big help in
stretching feed supplies. Be
sides, the cattle will pick up
what little grain was left in
the field. If you're interested
in getting satisfactory gains
on this type of feed you'll need
to also provide some protein,
though. Several companies
now have protein blocks avail
able that work well for cattle
graxing stalk fields. Generally
you can figure the cattle will
consume about one pound of
protein daily.
