In this episode, Drew rides passenger to Somerset, Kentucky to pick up our soybean meal from CRC — the protein source that’s been a game changer for our herd. Once he’s back home, we unload it straight into our grain bin. No more storing it in the gravity wagon and shoveling it out by hand — we’ve officially moved up with an electric power source that augers it directly into our tractor bucket.
Emmy and Natosha help get everything unloaded, and then Scott and Emmy mix feed for the cows, walking through the minerals and why every ingredient in our TMR matters. From silage and recycled corn maze to yeast, buffers, and soybean meal, we break down how each piece plays a role in rumen health, milk production, and keeping our cows thriving.
Because around here, feed isn’t just feed — it’s the fuel that feeds the farm
