Small Feed Bin

[Tennessee Cattleman]

I hand mix a different feed mix for starting calves out with some sweet feed added to the mix. Been thinking about looking for a large used Job Box type chest to keep this mix in. Feed it out in 5 gallon buckets anyway and seems like it would be better than barrels. Opinions?

Keeps the coons and possums out. Will definitely be easier to get the feed out. Keeps the feed dry if it's not under shelter. Only drawback...the price of one.
I have one in a barn I put sack feed in to keep the varmits from tearing into the bags.

Why not use an old freezer? Non working ones are usually free.

I use plastic forklift totes. One has a lid the other I just have a sheet of plywood. They work good. Might be a cheaper option than a job site box if u can find them

Old freezers are used here also...

I used an old chest freezer back when I was in Washington.

I had 1340lbs of cubes loaded into a square cage tote today. Cut it down to the second row from the top so I could reach the bottom. Working out of a super sack gets difficult towards the end. I like to job box idea tho
