[QUOTE="Cowdirt, post: 810553, member: 2609"] Nova, I bought 2 of the haysaver cone feeder built in Lavergne, TN and sold by our local co-ops. I'm running a side by side comparison with my old style hay rings. The hay savings I'm thinking will pay for this type relatively quick. One thing I've noticed is that the cows prefer the old type because they eat that hay first then move to the new ones; leaving a pretty good mess behind. I think that smaller bales with the hay farther inside the ring would result in less waste with either type of ring. If they drop a mouthful it would stay inside the ring. The type cone feeder that I bought costs about $550 ea. [/QUOTE]
