Can feed in lick wheel tanks or open topped tubs/troughs/or whatever. http://www.mix30.com Cost right now is 175 a ton (250 gallons). We use a 275 gallon square tank (inside a frame) with a ball valve attached at the bottom and a hose (via banjo coupler) to put it in the tanks.
Is the $175 per ton the normal price, or has it gone up this year?
We paid 190 a ton delivered to our tanks. Last year it was 160. We should have plenty come calving season since we fenced the cows out of where it is. The hay this year is only low quality, last year we fed multiple year old that had been stored outside. That stuff was way below low quality more like crappy or P-poor. The possums are getting into the open tanks though. Gotta remove another one in the morning.
It has gone up - we were paying 160 a ton - we get it straight out of a railcar, too.
