From Our Side Of The FenceTell us about your farm invention.

Charlie Sachs, pictured with his dad, Chuck SachsEyota, Minn.Olmsted County 175 cowsTell us about your invention. It is a calf mover for the skidloader. We can also leave calves in the boxes for a few days with a heat lamp over them during the winter and move them when needed. Weve been us-ing them for about 10 years. They work really well. What did you use prior to your invention and what was the dilemma that provoked your discovery? We would carry them or use the skidloader bucket, which meant there was a chance they could jump out.

This makes it a lot easier for the calf and the people. You can pick the calf up and go. Tell about the process and materials you used to make it. How much time did it take to make? Theres not much to it: a pallet for the bottom, wood for gaps on the bottom of the pallet to make it at and ply wood for the sides. You hammer them together and you have a simple calf mover. The front plywood side slides in and out of grooves so it can be removed and get the calf in and out. It took maybe a half hour. We have made a total of about six calf movers. Most of them are made from scrap wood around the farm. Did you encounter any challenges while making it? How did you overcome it? Theres not much to it. They are not too dif cult to make and there arent any challenges. Do you have any other ideas youre currently working on? One of our employees made a towel basket holder for the parlor using a two-inch pipeline. Its sturdy because its stainless steel. Tell us about your farm. I farm with my wife, Carrie. We have three kids: Jay (15), CJ (13) and Anna Marie (12). My dad, Chuck, works for us around the farm. In addition to our cows, we own 320 acres and rent 40. We have a double-6 parlor with a freestall barn.

Bruce TelleenMonticello, IowaJones County180 cowsTell us about your invention. A device called the Sand Trap is used to help keep sand in the free stalls. The original Sand Trap was built out of tire treads cut into strips about 3.5 inches wide and 45 inches long. They were fastened with stainless steel cable. When completed the Sand Trap looked like a venetian blind that was 57 inches long and 45 inches wide. The Sand Trap was put in the stall about two inches below the curb height. The Sand Trap cut sand usage by 50-70 percent What did you use prior to your invention and what was the dilemma that provoked your discovery? I started using sand for bedding in free stalls back in 1975. At that time, I was farming next to a sand pit, so sand was readily available and inexpensive. After I moved away from the sand pit, I continued to use sand even though it wasnt as cost effective. Also, the cows seemed to be wasting a considerable amount of the sand. I started thinking about putting something in the bottom of the free stalls to prevent the cows form pawing the sand out. Tell about the process and materials you used to make it. How much time did it take to make? I had stopped at a tire recycler to see about getting an earth mover tire to build a tire scraper. While I was

there, I saw a bunch of rubber strips cut from tire treads. I got to wondering if I could nd a way to fasten them to-gether and put them in the free stalls to keep the cows from kicking the sand out. Eventually, I got to the point of assembling the Sand Traps using stainless steel cable, plastic spacers, and the tire tread strips. Did you encounter any challenges while making it? How did you overcome it? I applied for a patent and eventually received one. I began to manufacture and sell the Sand Traps. After about two years into the process, a serious problem surfaced. Some of the Sand Traps were coming apart in the stalls. Fortunately, it was only a small percentage of what had been sold. I immediately found the problem and corrected it. I continued to build them and did everything I could to replace, repair or x the problems caused by the failed units. After about eight years of dealing with every tire recycler within a 500 mile radius, I decided it was time to make a major design change in the Sand Trap. I found a way to have the tire treads replaced by a manufactured panel. The new Sand Trap II is made from foam injected polypropylene and held together with stainless steel threaded rods and nuts. The sec-ond generation of Sand Traps has the original design with improved features of less weight and more uni-

formity, making handling and shipping much easier.Some of the original tire tread models have been inour free stalls for over 16 years. Do you have any other ideas youre currentlyworking on? A couple of years ago I built a contrap-tion to store big square bales in a 10-foot silage bag.It is very simple. The silage bag ts on the machineand the square bales can be stacked three high insideof it. The machine is advanced forward to make roomfor three more bales. A 10- by 250-foot silage bag willhold bout 250 3- by 3- by 8-foot bales. Next, I modi- ed the original bagger to allow big round bales to bestored in a bag. The rst bale is put into the bag on endlike a barrel and the second bale is set on top. A 10-by 250-foot silage bag will hold about 90 big roundbales. These bale baggers are very simple with nomoving parts. Tell us about your farm. My wife, Jani and I boughtour farm in 1983. We are fortunate to have severalhard-working and dedicated employees. Mike Niet-ert, his wife, Brandy, and four boys have been with usnearly 10 years. Our son, Klark, and his wife, Brittney,began farming with us full time two years ago aftergraduating from ISU. Eliseo and his wife, Veronica,and their three children started about one year ago andhelp us with the three-times-a-day milking. We haveabout 180 cows milking, feed about 200 steers andfarm about 600 acres. We also have a custom forageharvesting business that includes a chopper, two si-lage baggers, a big square baler and a round baler.

Doward and Shirley DykstraBigelow, Minn.Nobles County200 cowsTell us about your invention. My son, Steve, and I designed and built our own milking parlor. We started out with a double-4 parlor and expanded it over the years to a double-6 and then to a double-10.What did you use prior to your invention and what was the dilemma that provoked your discovery?

We had been milking 50 cows in a 10-stall stanchion barn. We wanted to eliminate all that bending and save on our knees.Tell about the process and materials you used to make it. How much time did it take to make? After a long planning process, we began by breaking out the old concrete. We then dug out the parlor pit with a small skid loader we borrowed from my brother. We built the parlor ourselves and did much of our own concrete work, but we consulted with our dairy equip-ment company throughout the entire project. It took us about four weeks from start to nish.Did you encounter any challenges while making it? How did you overcome it? The biggest challenge was milking our cows while we built the new parlor. My brother had just quit milking, so we were able to milk them over at his place. We were calving season-ally at the time, so our main goal was to get the new parlor built before the bulk of our cows started calv-ing on the rst of September. We worked on it during the entire month of August and had one side ready

to go in time. We then milked on one side while weworked to get the other side going.Do you have any other ideas youre currentlyworking on? We have a machine shed that was putup in the 1970s that we would like to move. Weveadded to our facilities over the years and the shed isnow too close to the yard and blocks truck traf c. Wewould like to simply pick up the shed, turn it a quarterturn and put it back down. It might not get done thisyear, but were thinking about how we would do it.Tell us about your farm. We dairy farm with our son,Steve. We raise all of our own replacement heifers andsell the bull calves when they are two days old. I grewup on a dairy farm located two miles away and starteddairying on my own when I got home from Vietnamin 1969. We now have 14 grandchildren, seven girlsand seven boys. Steve has six children that range inage from 6 months to 12 years old, and they are start-ing to help out around the farm. Shirley fed calves anddid a lot of other things on the farm when we wereyounger, but now her main job is to be Grandma!

... able to consistently ship more of our milk, and higher quality milk.

The Udder Comfort blue spray is a very employee-friendly product for our 7 employees milking 650 cows 3 times a day. What I like best is it works without having to throw the milk away. We are able to consistently ship more of our milk, and higher quality milk. And we dont have to worry about the tank, says Jeremy Kinslow. Jeremy and his sister Lindsie, and her husband Adam, farm with parents Don and Gail at the fourth generation Kinslow Dairy, Smithsgrove, Kentucky.

First we used the white lotion at cattle shows. Then we brought it home for use on fresh cows after every milking for the fi rst few days after calving because it removes the swelling faster.

We continue to routinely use Udder Comfort spray on all fresh cows and heifers. Our herd has always had a low SCC, but this has helped lower it even more, to be consistently around 170,000, while at the same time, treating fewer cows in the herd.

Quality Udders Make Quality Milk

For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.

URBAN CALF FEEDERS

You wouldnt feed this baby just twice a day.

Calves are babies too. If left to nurse naturally, the average 100-lb. calf will nurse 6-10 times

per day, consume 1.9 to 2.8 gallons of milk, and gain 2-3 lbs. per day.

With an Urban automatic calf feeder, you can optimize early growth potential, minimize mortality and make better use of your milk replacer or milk.
