If you are conscious of waste when feeding livestock and do not like the animals walking on hay or silage that is put out, then a round bale feeder may be the answer to your problem. These are suitable for most medium to large breeds of livestock, and are usable for any type of feed where waste is a problem.
They are of a circular shape allowing the livestock to move around as necessary and accessing from any area in the vicinity. With the ability to allow the stock to spead out around it, this also allow for any animal to back out quickly when the need arises.
The feeder is around six feet or one and a half meters in diameter and has a piece of metal or flat tin which extends up the sides to about half a meter or approximately two feet and attaches to a second ring, this is probably lower if using for sheep etc.,
Vertical bars rise from this to about three feet or a meter and are attached to another ring at the top, being either straight or at an angle of around forty five degrees. Stock have easy access to the feed due to the reasonably wide spacings between these.
These are useful for hay or silage made in the round bale shape, but are also used for the small square bales and other types of feed. They can be easily loaded by a tractor with a silage or hay attachment on the front end loader. The stock although they can easily reach when feeding cannot waste the feed as they would if the bale where put into an open area.
The bars around the outside are set wide enough apart for stock to access the feed easily, but they are not able to get in where the feed actually is. They are also wide enough for any animal to back out quickly if a bully decides they want that particular spot. Being a reasonable weight they are able to be moved fairly easily to cleaner ground when the need arises.
These types of feeding systems are a great way to save on waste and are generally strong enough to withstand the onslaught of livestock. They are available from agricultural machinery stockist or may be ordered through a local produce store. For further information they can be found on the internet on associated websites.
