[QUOTE="mitchwi, post: 353109, member: 2063"] She's actually just going to take off, so I agree that her front legs look "off".... and you could be right right about her... We bought the hay feeders from a local farmer that does some supply selling as well as raise beef cattle. but I've seen brochures on them at implement dealers as well. He would buy the parts, put the rings together and sell them. He uses a heater iron that is used on gas lines to heat both sides of the part that will become a ring, kinds welds the 2 ends together... pretty neat actually. When we bought them they cost $225 and then another $45 for the spacers, which we had to put on ourselves. We have small rounds, so we are able to squeeze 3 of the bales in the 9' feeders, kinda like a triangle formation, and they have to be on end. The feeders are flexible, so that helps. Also, after sitting the bales tend to have a flat spot on one side and that helps too. I don't have any pics specifically of that, and being tax season, I won't get to the farm until April 20th. If you are still interested I will take some pics just of this. Michele [/QUOTE]
