Title: feed lot
Post by: martel on July 07, 2012, 09:08:13 pm

Hi Friends I am planning on setting up a small feed lot to raise fattening cattle what would be the best type of machine to buy for shredding hay corn stork and sugar cane etc and leaf etc being i am doing all this in jamaica, I would welcome some thing using a small diesel engine as electric is scarce and expensive in my neck of the woods. I have also look at the wood chipper shredder and wonder if this is the best route to go down as i could also do with some mulshing to put on the land for veg farming

these things are not cheap but should do the job for you

TWO QUESTIONS.
 
What are you paying for a gallon of deisel in Jamaica ?

Can you send us some sunshine ?, our summer has been cancelled through lack of interest this year
