[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 843148, member: 12607"] Unrolled hay for a short time one winter - low-tech: unwrapped the bale at the top of the hill and rolled it downhill, unraveling as it went. Sorry, my experience was: unacceptable wastage, as they trampled, defecated, and urinated on more than they ate. Sure, the waste was spread around a bit more, and the soil/grass right there benefitted, but I won't do that again. The black plastic feeders(linked earlier in this thread) are great - light enough that my wife can flip 'em up and roll 'em to the next spot, they don't freeze to the ground, they don't rust, they're bull-tough. I've got some that have been in service for over 5 years - and know folks who've had 'em for 10+ years, and they're as good as the day they arrived. Never had a steel bale ring that lasted more than a couple of years before it was broken/rusted out. If I were buying 'em today, I'd probably go with the 'basket' type. [/QUOTE]
