That's clever. A lot of advantages.

Thanks!

Found you from Farmer Tyler Ranch. He built something similar for two bales.

[@SIHayFarmer]

Look up Edan Shale farm. They did some of the original design of this type of feeder. At the time we built this we had a herd of horned cattle so had to modify our design to handle those cattle. We’re starting a new herd this spring. It’ll be interesting to see if we have to modify for a commercial beef cow. Thanks for checking us out!!!

How long does it last full ? With how many heads?

[@SIHayFarmer]

With 35 - 40 it lasts about a week

@@SIHayFarmer hey brother everyone is going thru something. Maybe you sharing what your going thru could help others. Thanks for your videos.

[@SIHayFarmer]

That’s a good point. I’ll try to put one together what we’ve been dealing with. Thanks!

How much money you make in one cow every year

[@SIHayFarmer]

We sell our calves off right after weening at about $2/lb.

[@herbhouston5378]

What's your average weaning weight? Do they finish local or are shipped away to a different area?

[@SIHayFarmer]

We were weaning the Corriente's at around 200#. The same gentleman had been buying them from us for a few years and would buy all of our calves and haul them off. That'll all change as we move back into a standard beef cow.
