I was hoping to get some input from others. I am planning on adding about 20 heifers to my angus herd each year for the next 4 years. I wanted to feed these cattle additional feed to help put on weight. I am trying to decide whether I should just get a used bunk feeder, load it up and let them eat as much as they want or would it be worthwhile to buy an automatic feeder and have them be fed a specific amount a couple of times a day. I do not have the time to be feeding them myself daily. Obviously the auto feeders are more expensive, just trying to judge whether the investment is worth it or not? After I am done increasing my herd size, I would use the feeder for my bulls, or maybe backgrounding calves. Noone else around seems to have one. Thank you for your help.
