FEEDER RESPONSIBILITIES
• Before feeding a bunk scoop out any foreign material: manure, mud, bad feed, wet feed, etc.
• Start feeding 3 ft. from the end of the bunk and stop feeding within 3 ft. of the bunk.
• Make sure your feed is spread evenly over the area of the bunk to be fed. If you have 500 lbs. left after your first pass, make sure that the last 500 lbs. is spread over the entire area of the bunk that is being fed.
• Make sure that you allow the full mixing time after the last ingredient is on your load = 4 minutes.
• Feed Placement- Feed needs to be from one end of the bunk to the other unless noted by management (i.e. small headcount in a big pen).
• Accuracy: When unloading you should be within+/- 50 lbs on pens with 100+ head and+/- 30 lbs. on pens under 100 head at the end of the day.
• You are responsible for the maintenance and cleanliness of your truck. Make sure oil is checked daily and changed on a regular basis, grease zerks are greased, radiator is clean and full of coolant, windows and mirrors are kept clean so that your sight is not impaired. Blow out truck.
• Excessive ground speed is the culprit in broken springs and broken shafts in the box. A maximum of 20 mph in the yard is permitted with smooth road conditions. Rough roads and holes should be taken at a speed in which the truck does not bounce or rock excessively. This applies whether you are running full or empty.
• If you see a problem in a pen; sick cattle, problem with water, slick bunk or wrong feed in a bunk, it is your responsibility to report this problem so that it can be taken care of immediately.
• If you spill feed outside of the bunk, please clean it up immediately. A customer seeing feed in the alley wonders how much of his feed gets put on the ground.
• Let us know immediately if you feed the wrong pen or the wrong amount to a pen. Please, do not wait.
• The sooner we can resolve the problem, the better.
• Ensure areas are safe and inform Manager immediately with any safety concerns.
