Buckles said...: In the elephant barn in Hugo, every day following the afternoon watering, we did this same routine by dumping out three 50 pound bags of oats and one bag of bran next to the water tank, then topped it off with a few handfulls of salt.
Then about six of us with shovels would mix it up while someone with the hose would add water, to produce something that resembled oatmeal.
When completed we would scoop it up and distribute it amongst the herd.; 05 March, 2010 11:18
