In the state of Texas, cattle ranches are extremely common. The ranchers are always concerned with keeping their cattle healthy and hydrated during the droughts that arrive in particular seasons. When it comes to certain farm equipment, many ranchers are purchasing Tube Brooms and using them as Cattle Scratchers.
From Susan Whitney at 30 Thousand Oaks Farm & Ranch:
“Our ranch is 1,000 acres and in Hallettsville, Texas, we have 40 cows and one longhorn. We are new to ranching, since 2019. My husband is an orthopedic veterinary surgeon, on the brink of retirement and fulfilling a lifelong dream of ranching. I’m just an empty nest mom, trying to take care of anything and everything. I saw something on Tik Tok about how cows loved to have something to scratch on….. voila…. our cow scratcher. Now I’m looking for the next thing they need.”
The cows, “They love it!”
The three tube brooms she bought is manufactured by Keystone Plastics in New Jersey…This tube broom is all poly with dimensions of 8.5″ ID x 36″ OD x 60″ Long.
Adjusting Your Land to Help Your Cattle
One of the beautiful things about being a landowner and rancher is the amount of adjusting you are able to do to your property. Obviously, this customer came up with a creative way to help her cattle out during rough times on the ranch. Having plenty of land can help you to ensure the hydration of your cattle. Ensuring your cattle have access to clean and plentiful water sources is essential to their survival.
To avoid water deprivation, ensure water is readily available to your cattle daily. Check the pumps that draw water from wells. Make sure troughs and tanks contain water. Ensure nipple waterers in barns are working properly.
New Pastures for Cattle
Sometimes, introducing cattle to new pastures is necessary, which takes time and precision. Whenever you need to adjust your land, move materials, or level out land, it’s important to have the proper equipment, as well as attachments. You never want to scramble with non-functional ground engaging tools/attachments.
