Abstract: A system for transferring heat between a first livestock animal and a second livestock animal may include a first element positionable adjacent to the first livestock animal to transfer heat from a first fluid to a first thermally conductive surface on the first element, a second element positionable adjacent to the second livestock animal to transfer heat from a second fluid to a second thermally conductive surface on the second element, and a heat exchange assembly configured to transfer heat to the first fluid from the second fluid. The heat exchange assembly may include a first heat exchanger receiving the first fluid from the first element, a second heat exchanger receiving the second fluid from the second element, and a refrigeration apparatus utilizing a refrigerant to exchange heat between the first and second heat exchangers.

Abstract: An auger system for removing particulate material from an interior of s storage bin having a bin floor with a center and a periphery. The auger system may comprise an outflow auger for positioning from the center of the bin floor to the periphery of the bin floor to move the particulate material from the center to the periphery, an inflow auger for positioning from the periphery of the bin floor to the center of the bin floor to move the particulate material toward the center of the bin floor to feed particulate material to the outflow auger; and a movement assembly configured to move the inflow auger with respect to the outflow auger. The system may also include a lift assembly configured to lift the inflow auger upwardly with respect to the bin floor from a lowered operational position to a raised, clearing position.
