Cattle Hay Ring Test

[@OutWestHomestead]

I like that last feeder. I love seeing you cows and now having babys. It brings back memories when we lived in Texas.

[@HedgeAppleAcres]

Great information about hay rings! I agree that it's important to monitor hay wastage and consider what it's costing you. Keep up the great work.

tuff built out of Wi.? they would let me be a dealer. still figuring out what I want to do there. for sure when I buy a round baler it will have a pre cutter. pretty cool to see how much better they cleaned up!

[@Gcartertexas]

❤ your branding logos!

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

So do we! There is this awesome Lady in Forney Texas that can hook you up.

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Thanks, just hope they hold up. Guess I’ll try to buy a couple each year.

[@CourtofRecord]

I still don't know how he's going to get that bale roll to fit inside of that ring Why did you stop the video until it was done

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Sorry. It fits really easily. We just took it for granted. Thanks for watching.

[@michiganhay7844]

Thanks for doing this video I’m looking at reducing my losses somehow I think I’m gonna spend the money on the good stuff

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Appreciate you watching. Yes, the Baxter hay rings work really well. They’re just so expensive. I ended up buying several of the cheaper ones just for convenience, but I’m trying to buy 1-2 good ones each year.

Stopping by to show your Channel some Love! Awesome video my friend! 😁😁👍👍

[@gscott4740]

Can you show updates on the cone feeder and how the material holds up? It looks like the mass produced bolt together rings that are sold at the big box ag stores. I couldn't get them to last more than 2 years. I purchased 2 of GoBob's and I'm sure I won't have to replace them in my lifetime.

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Hello, thanks for watching. So far they’re holding up ok. They are not as durable as a GoBob. I’ll have some feeding videos this winter and will update them at that time.

[@TexFarmer]

That's some good looking hay you're feeding out. Was that kept inside a barn? I had a field of stockpiled grass that I was counting on getting my cows through a good portion of winter but the field turned into a soggy muddy mess with all the rain we've had so I went yesterday and bought 12 more rolls of hay to get me through. I paid $50 a bale which I thought was an honest price given the circumstances. It was the last 12 rolls the guy had available.

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

No, that was not barn kept. I was lucky to get this hay. It was outstanding hay. Unfortunately, I paid more than $50/roll. Wish I could get more. I’m going to be about 40-60 rolls short. I planted rye grass in a few spots, but it really didn’t come in strong. I’m praying for an early Spring. The new style rings are a winner.

[@AbeedBasheer]

Wow...Beautiful !!!

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Thanks AB!

[@bigears4014]

The main deciding factor on wastage is how tight the bale and grass length is , tight bales less waste

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Good points. Thanks for watching.

[@jessmorris2243]

I've seen a few videos where the bextra ring didn't hold up. Are you still liking the Tuff feeder?

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Hello, the Tuff feeder is Bullet/bull proof. My bextra is showing a lot of surface rust, but still performing.

[@tammydewolf5271]

Where are you buying these better hay rings? I’m not seeing them locally.

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Hello, We bought them in Paris Texas at Big Country. You could also contact the manufacturer and get a dealers name in your region.

[@tammydewolf5271]

Heritage Farms Texas That is perfect as we are near Mt. Vernon. Do you think they are worth the investment?

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

I think so. OSU has a KZbin video doing research on the different rings you might watch. My bulls wasted a ton of hay until we got this one.

[@kelleystamps7526]

@@HeritageFarmsTexas Which one did you pick as the best now that time has gone by?

[@MrTg48]

Is it available in Pakistan 🇵🇰

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Not sure.

[@alboggs7561]

Keep it painted

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Good idea. Thanks for watching.
