I want to hoist 100lb hay nets with a snatch block from this beam.

I’m thinking of putting an eye bolt either at the bottom or into the side. Is this a good idea or am I risking damage to the structure. The nets will be getting filled here, so highest working load will be impacted by if hay is getting dumped in by hand and for the raising to be loaded. I think the beam is 12x4 - I forgot to measure. Can update with measurement if it’s close. It’s a 15’ span between posts.

I have a solid cow that’s just had her third calf. Her udder was really full last night and she calved out beautifully in the wee hours this morning. This evening when I was checking in, I noticed that one side of her udder has come down in size with the calf drinking. The other is still very full and the teats are quite full. I only observed her calf drinking from the smaller side of her udder.

Im wondering if I need to bring her in and milk the full side or if this is a wait and see situation.
