Producer benefits from simplifying cow-calf facility

A Wisconsin cow-calf producer says by simplifying her facilities, she improved both feed and labor efficiency.

Shari Overby of SKOR Cattle Company in Clear Lake tells Brownfield she designed their fence line feeding area with a 16-foot alley to get the most out of the cattle with very little feed waste. “It’s a 300-foot fence line. We can put 120 cows on here and we can feed them all comfortably. They do a total mixed ration.
