[QUOTE="ToddFarmsInc, post: 575742, member: 8301"] ya those type of bale feeders look like a pretty good concept. I'm just behind the curve, since I don't have any yet. I haven't quite figured out how to incorporate them into my feeding program. I like to set the bales down unwrap them bales, then set the feeders over the hay. I haven't figured out how to set the bales in the hay saver type feeder then unwrap the bales. :dunce: On the cheeper type feeder, you really have to look at what you are getting. If you want to get a metal type feeder you will want to get one with narrow enough head slots that they don't pull too much hay out of the feeder and waste it. Also you will want to try to find one where all the pipe are welded on the round, and the welded ends aren't pinched and then welded which produces a much weaker joint. I've also bought plastic type feeders, which are great against corrosion, but again, you want to make sure that the spaces are small, so they don't waste too much feed. [/QUOTE]
