I am looking for a better way to feed hay to my steers (3 now, but going to get a bull and a few heifers in the next couple weeks). I have a bucket, about 150 gallon water bucket I use to put the hay in. Our pastures are dormant right now. It works ok for now, but they are a little rough on the bucket, it won't last long. I have seen the bale feeders, so many types out there and reviews are all over the place on them. I don't have access to round bales, so those won't work. Right now I have a couple dumps of 110# bales I feed them. Any recommendations on feeders. I know this is very subjective, just looking for options.
I have fenced in pastures, about 15 acers all together. I tend to keep the cows in half and the horses in the other half. I still irrigate, so whatever I use will need to be coated to increase longevity. I don't feed any grain, just grass and alfalfa.
I apologize if this subject has been discussed in depth…. I tried to search but the word "feeder" is ignored in the search :compute: .
