Fall Run Feeders Checking Pens

Feature 1

Fall-Run Feeders rides pens once a day and up to 3 times a day on high stress cattle. Bunks are read A.M. prior to making feed calls and P.M. prior to leaving for the day.  This insuraes we are meeting all the intake requirements in a timely matter.  Pen size varies from 50 to 500 head with the large pens mostly used for cattle that will go back to grass. This allows for enough spaces to get lots of exercise.
