A lot of guys here put high moisture corn in them. They say it keeps better. Some still put silage but most now are bags or piles.

Mat man is right on.vfeed em different time. I give mine a couple buckets of barley twice a week and they see a pail and come running. You feed em same time every day and you come home late or don't get out there one day and they'll be bawling like they've never been fed in a month

Dang it must be in space somewhere. I'll do it again tonight it's sorta a lengthy explanation.

https://youtu.be/MTCwYM8-fsE This is a design I found a year or so ago. I really like the set up. My next one will be Crete something based off this design size may change some but I like that I could clean manure around bunk. That's always the messiest and usually were the muds the worst...

I kinda do the same not nearly as fancy. Up here if you drive in a lot to feed in spring or late fall you water canals that are a nightmare to fix. I made a gravel pad set bunk inside the fence and a little drive off my driveway to it. Works great no mud coming over the Axel and huge ruts to...
