After 34 years it amazes me how advanced @KEENANsystem were in their approach to ruminant nutrition. Informative, farmer led info pack. Even in this digital age you can’t beat a good hard copy!

[Joe Maher @jeomaher]

@KEENANsystem not too often you come across an old gem like these, perfect condition, a goody bag that came with the first diet feeder here in 1990/91 heavy duty gloves a dust mask, goggles and an apron.

Found out they would be on holiday in the US. We coordinated for a day of farm tours in WKY

Yesterday we had a great day visiting many friends and showcasing their farms 🧵
