Answers for farmers comparing pasture management suppliers and dealers on FarmPages.
Cattle oilers and rope applicators coat the animal with oil and insecticide as it rubs, so they work best where cattle pass every day, such as near water or mineral. Results depend on placement, keeping reservoirs filled, and using a product labelled for that use at the label rate. Compare oiler designs from listed suppliers and ask how often refills are needed.
Rotational grazing needs a way to split pastures and keep animals watered: portable electric fence with reels, step-in posts and a reliable energizer, portable or pipeline water, and mineral feeders that move with the herd. Wire rollers save time when taking fence down. Start with your paddock plan, then compare fencing and pasture management suppliers on FarmPages for the pieces you need.
A calving camera lets you check cows from the house or your phone without walking into the barn and disturbing them, which can mean more sleep and a quicker response when a cow needs help. Before buying, check night vision, camera count and coverage, Wi-Fi or cable range from barn to house, and power. Listed suppliers can recommend a setup for your barn layout.
Browse the Pasture Management listings on FarmPages and note the suppliers in or serving Alberta, which has the second-largest group after Manitoba. Contact a few to ask about stock, shipping to your area, replacement parts such as oiler wicks and ropes, and seasonal timing, since fly control and grazing equipment is in highest demand in spring.
