Moultrie Feeder

[Brute 23]

Was wondering of any one tried one yet? I think we talked about it a while back. I have never been a moultrie fan but I haven't seen another product like it. Was just looking for some thing to feed out a butcher calf or two that doesn't require me to be there every day.

I have zero experience. One thing that would worry me a little is the opening in the bottom of the hopper seems small for certain types of feed. Seems fine for corn and such, but I think some feeds with molasses may bridge over the opening occasionally. I know some of the feeds we've fed the kids show steers don't "flow" real well. I could be wrong, it just seems like its more designed for corn.

I could definitely see that. Some thing simular was mentioned when I was reading reviews. Corn, pellets, etc work good but probably not sweet feeds and things of that nature.

My goal would mainly be corn twice a day.

Did you ever try this? I am in the same boat. I want to finish out my first steer but our farm is 45 min away and it would be a hassle going everyday to feed it.

No I did not. Not because if the feeder, I just got going on other stuff and scratched feeding out the steer.

I was talking to a guy about feed and he said they had a pellet that was 10% protein with like 2% fat. It was real reasonable and made me think about feeders again.

Definitely going to try it. Do you think it would be a problem if I separate a steer by itself since they are herd animals?

It could be. It's always 50/50. It may not be bad if other cattle are along the same fence where he feels like he is still part of the crew. Worse thing that will happen is he will break back in with them. If he is by himself, with out your other cattle in sight, he will probably find the path of least resistance and that may be a neighbors place.
