10/4/2023 0 Comments Sheep hay feederI overlap the squares one or two spaces depending whether feeding out silage (which is smaller in diameter) or hay and simply join them with lots of cable ties.Īs soon as it rains they get stuck into it: They cost around $60 each for a 6 metre or 20′ length so this gives me two feeders. I cut a 2.4 metre (8′) piece of concrete reinforcing mesh (about 6 mm or 1/4″ steel diameter and in 8″ or 20 cm squares) in half with the angle grinder or the bolt cutters – whatever is to hand. The big round bales are definitely the most economic source of hay but there is much wastage if they are not feeding enthusiastically so this is the way around that problem: Like small children they will always eat ‘lollies’, but we almost never feed any grain save a handful sometimes to a very old ewe who is really down in the mouth but whom we really want one last lamb/s from because she has been just such a champion.
