2 Wintering Our experience with water Our experience with windbreaks Our experience with winter feeding Other things we use

3 Our Farm Building Site Roads Windbreaks Filter Strip Well Waterlines Water Points Hydrants Fences Portable windbreaks

4 Water Well Underground waterlines Access points Fountains

5 Well Pump Submersible ¾ Horsepower Pressure tank 85 gallon Heater 1500 watts

6 6 feet deep PVC pipe 2 diameter Gopher proof Adequate pressure 20 lengths Double gasket couplings Underground waterlines

7 Trenching Good going Sandy loam No rocks Trench wall stands up good

8 Trenching Not so good going Low area Trench collapses Ground water high Back hoed 200 Filled pipe with water Hold down & cover

9 Installing waterlines Connecting pipe Lowering pipe

10 Crossing roads Traffic Buried telephone wires Packing

11 Access Points Digging out for 15 tile Using 1 x 6 board to prevent the dirt from going back in the trench

12 Access Points Attaching quick coupler hydrant to 2 waterline before it is lowered into trench

13 Access Points 15 tile Backfilled Packed Bentenite

14 Access Points Looking down 6 to the quick coupler hydrant on 2 PVC waterline

15 Accessing the Waterline Remove cover 1 riser pipe

16 Accessing the waterline Uncover hydrant Snap riser pipe into hydrant

17 Our First Energy Free Fountain Two Hole Mirafount Old concrete floor 5 x 9 insulated tube Water level critical for seal Lack of water pressure as cattle are drinking allows cold air in

18 Energy Free Fountain Two hole Ritchie Bird & cattle waste can get in Poured concrete pad 1 4 x 8 dense styrofoam 15 tile with a 5 x 14 insulated tube

19 Portable Energy Free Fountain Two hole Mirafount Flip up lids 8 x 8 bridge plank platform 15 tile 5 x 14 insulated tube Precise water level not as important Air can t get in even with low water level

20 Portable Energy Free Fountain Two hole Pride of the Farm Poly lids 8 x 8 bridge plank platform 15 tile 5 x 14 insulated tube

21 Portable Energy Free Fountain Two hole Highcroft One poly lid One rubber lid 8 x 8 bridge plank platform 15 tile 5 x 14 insulated tube

22 Portable Energy Free Fountain Poly lid Cornstalks around fountain before ground freezes

23 Old Fountain Mirafount from 70 s Bigger, weaker, not as efficient, much larger float

24 Old Style Energy Free System

25 Windbreaks University of Wyoming model 90 degree V shaped protection barrier reduces wind speed & diverts drifting snow

26 Windbreaks Number of animal units (AU s) protected by barrier heights H Height (H) Wings (L) Width (D) Area (A) AU s (ft) (ft) (ft) (ft2) , , , , , Area of protection zone with 60-80% wind reduction.

27 Windbreak View from the north

28 View from the west Windbreak

29 Windbreak View from the south

30 View from the east Windbreak

31 Windbreak Beginning winter Four 10 x 12 panels Forty 5 x 6 round cornstalk bales One 7 x 12 perforated panel

32 Drift formed southeast of east wing Windbreak

33 Windbreak West wing cornstalk bales replaced by perforated panels Snow comes through perforated panels

34 Snow free area Snow drift downwind from wing Cornstalk bales replaced by perforated panels Windbreak

35 Windbreak Cattle spread over 20 acres Fed hay & cornstalks all over pasture

36 Windbreak Portable windbreaks northwest & southeast of energy free fountain Bedded inside windbreak

37 Windbreak Four portable perforated panels Farmsite & bale pile are major snowcatch

38 Winter Feeding Bales set out for winter feeding

39 Feeding the bales Winter Feeding

40 Think Spring!

41 Winter Feeding Direct cut lacerated vacuum haylage Use round bales to hold down plastic once opened

42 Winter Feeding 50 x high 52 loads

43 Winter Feeding Buckton wagon Tractor & grapple fork Should have used slice

44 Winter Feeding Grazing cornstalks Feeding under electric wire

45 Winter Feeding Brought cows home for calving Feed with Buckton against electric wire

46 Winter Feeding Early spring feeding on hillside Standing corn Windbreak & fountain

47 Winter Feeding Fat steers in the grazing corn

48 Strip grazing standing corn to supplement hay in early spring Winter Feeding

49 Wire Winder Adjustable diameter Mounted on bale fork hydraulic

50 Wire Winder Variable speed hydraulic valve Hydraulic motor Be careful

51 Corner Small fiberglass corner Screw-in auger For one or two wires

52 Handling the hot wire Get in the bucket Don t grab ground wire at the same time Insulation Bucket

53 My Little Helper

54 Credits Jairell & Schmidt USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, Laramie, Wyoming their research gave us the confidence that we could keep cattle out in the cornfields using portable windbreaks and an underground water system West Central Research & Outreach Center, UM Morris, Minnesota; MDA Sustainable Ag Grant; SARE Grant provided valuable support enabling us to winter on different areas of our farms
