[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1727064, member: 498"] I have calves eating out of these bunks. Right now 35 calves eat from 2 12 foot bunks and one 16 footer. They are cheap and nearly indestructible. The last one I made cost about $50 for the lumber and some bolts to make a 16 footer. Use old worn out 16 inch pickup tires free at a tire store. As to the corn type availability will be the biggest issue. I feed cracked corn because it is cheaper and available here. Cracked corn is 7% more digestible than whole shelled corn. But areas with lots of available corn the whole corn is most likely more than 7% cheaper. [ATTACH type="full"]12313[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
