[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1558913, member: 32659"] For allot of folks in my area it’s not feasible to check cows everyday. It’s not laziness or not caring, but sometimes there’s just not enough hours in the day. Most people work a regular job and don’t live on the place the cows are at. An autofeeder would be good for this. However there is no substitute for hand feeding and being around cattle everyday. The only thing I would worry about with an autofeeder would be feed bridging. The 3/8 pellets shouldn’t bridge over but can get pricey at times. 20 heifers only need 120 pounds or so a day so this may not be an issue. If you get one let us know how it works. [/QUOTE]
