[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 575996, member: 7509"] There are pluses and minuses to many different hay feeders. I use both this elevated type and the standard ring on the ground. With the price of hay (if you buy hay) or the value of good hay (if you make your own) it is worth getting maximum use out of every bale. I like the Common Sense balefeeder shown here: [url]http://balefeeder.com/balefeeder.html[/url] I can move it around and any hay that does fall thru is eaten by the calves, very little trampled. One of the main features is it is easy to move from place to place. here is a picture of some of my cattle using it last winter: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0717_Balefeeder-120107.JPG"]0[/ATTACH] It costs a bit more than others because there is a lot of steel tubing in it - all 2 x 2. They come in single or multiple bale versions. The 2 bale version shown doesn't need to be filled so often. I usually carry two bales to the feeder, one on the loader spear one on the 3-pt spear (counterweight). Carry them to the end of the feeder, cut the wrap off and set the loader bale in from one end, drop the 3-pt bale at the other end and loader spear it in. load two bales in one trip. I move it about one feeder length by pulling it with a chain or strap just before I fill it so the manure is spread around. jmho. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
