[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12817"] in some areas there are several types available, find out what types are available in your area, get cost per ton and ask if they provide a lick feeder, some don't, the people I get my liquid feed from provide the lick troughs, and deliver to the ranch, if I had to choose, and I did, I chose cost and convienience, the price is right and they provided the feeders and deliver where and when I need it, based on a map of our place, and each feeder is numbered. So I can request which ones I need filled and how full to fill them. They hold up very well in all sorts of weather, and when not in use I turn them over to prevent water collecting, the wheels the cattle lick turn in the syrup, thus mixing the stuff and keeping it moving and preventing stagnation. The molassass in it is a perfect groth media for bacteria. Again, some people like the tubs, I don't, it is a matter of likes and dislikes, I don't like going to look for empty tubs that blow all over when the cows are done with them, and they are heavy, too heavy for me to mess with anyway.
