Would definitely upgrade float system to flat pancake style w/ hole in center . Run chain attached to float arm through the hole in float & adjust float height by clipping chain . Much easier adjustment .

Just added this to our cattle farm, will start using it the first of Feb. Ours is 8 ft. wider due to being put in a existing 32x72 hoop barn. I am hoping the results are as good as the ideal.

Or you could use Greg Judy's round bale unroller which is pulled by an ATV and costs just $3,000 in 2022. Evenly distributes manure over the pasture without tractors and manure spreaders.

That's great if the barn is where you need it or if even you have a barn in your hay field. I rent all my hay fields so I have to move all the hay back to the home farm. I have looked at the "Purple hay feeder " and also ESF self feeder on their stock yard setup.

@johnfulton52653 жыл бұрын
have you had any problems with the sliding panel getting wedged or stuck because of the cattle pushing more on one end of the feeding gate? I have made a similar feeder but this has happened to mine and the track ended up being pulled out of some hangers and the gate in a bind
@allenhood61053 жыл бұрын
How is it feed efficient to let a cow eat all they want? The idea was ok and I get the premiss of self feeding and keeping cows out of the mud, and yes they won’t waste as much hay that way, but it’s never efficient to let cows eat all they want. U could have used the money u spent there and put in feed bunks and bought a tmr feeder and put the cows on a feed ration and only fed them what they needed and saved hay and feed while putting weight on cheaper.
@Tiffycha19822 жыл бұрын
This is ideal for grass fed cattle in areas that have winter months and must eat hay over grazing pasture. It's never a good idea to limit/time what or how long a cow can eat...they need to have access to grass/hay/pasture 24/7. Grain fed cattle have more health issues because of this reason.
@liamhughes4589 Жыл бұрын
Looks like paying attention isnt your strong point he clearly shows that you can set stops to limit the amount of feed they can eat in any given feeding.

You could attach a retractable rolled tarp to the same track system, which would keep all the unused hay covered, and rolled up under tension as the cows push the feeder forward.

It really isn't crap hay, that outer layer is wet, but the inside is still amazing and green. Our farm, for instance, doesn't have a place to store round bales inside, so ours sets along side of our driveway until we need it. I will say, the cows still love and eat that outer wet layer as well.
