Patching compound
Devcon’s new concrete patching compound lets you patch holes and gouges in concrete surfaces easily and quickly anywhere on the farm, including milking parlor floors and walls, hog confinement areas and feed bunks.
It hardens quickly, so it can be applied between milkings without interrupting a milking schedule.
It can be moulded to rebuild slats in hog confinement areas, and the surface can be made smooth enough for feed bunks or rough enough to provide a non-slip surface on milking parlor floors. The patching will stand up to pressure washings and will bond to wet concrete.

Mobile creep feeder
Rachar Steel Works has manufactured a mobile, durable creep feeder made from heavy-duty steel that will outlast wooden models. The wings on the feeder fold up quickly, similar to a cultivator, by using a hand winch.
The feeder can be pulled right up to a bin, eliminating spillage. The feed bin is a five foot by 10 foot cylinder, with a capacity of 150 bushels. A heavy Binkly drop-foot dolly-jack is included on the hitch.
