Greetings! Thank you for the feedback. Can you expand on your idea? How many heads per feedlot do you think would work? (They range from ~100 to 50k (LOL) in the US) Custom corn feed for beef cows?
Howdy!! The average size Family Feedlot in Nebraska is about 1,500 head and the average size Commercial Feedlot is about 23,000 head. For context I have a Feedlot Farm build on the Reading, MN map with 4 lots of 1,013 a piece giving me enough room for 4,052 head which is manageable on a 4x map with the Realistic Livestock Mods applied and I may expand to 5 lots but it starts to lag with the that mod just because every head gets a Tag. So I think that 4 to 5 lots with the Buildable Feedlot Mod applied would work for us and 1,013 head for each lot is without expanding the fence. Yes a custom TMR would be awesome if you could make that happen. On our Family Feedlot in NY we feed High Moisture Shelled Corn, Corn Silage, Dry Alfalfa and a Protein Mix. We use Straw and Corn Stalks for bedding so you could put that in the TMR as well. Bronkema has some really cool Mods for custom crops and feeding.
That looks real sharp!! I love the Buildable Feedlot Mod the only bummer is that when you walk up to the Bunk it doesn’t give you your Livestock Data like how many head you currently have, how much feed you currently have, etc. like most Barns with Bunks do you actually have to open up your Animal Menu to get said Data. Not a huge deal but I wonder if that is fixable with a structure attached to the Lots, I say that because on the Forest River Map they have a modified version of the Buildable Feedlot Mod with a little Run In Shed attached to it and you get your Data to come up at the Bunk like normal.
Thank you for the shout out!! Much appreciated!! I think those are perfect size Lots and getting them down to 500 or so head is excellent. I see you got the Data to pull up at the Bunk, you are much better with the computer than I am. Were you thinking about dropping in a Butcher Shop as a Sell Point?
