My grinder/mixer has a square bale feeder on it. Most equipment manufacturers do not produce large volumes of equipment that don't work.

It does not cost you much to grind a few bales with what you have, even if you really mess up and have to clean out the tub by hand.

If it is too dusty, you can use the mixer to add a little molasses (which the sheep might like) to keep the dust down or buy a bigger screen.

Note he said they ground 120 round bales per hour. The tub grinders are for large operations.

Also, my philosophy is animals waste hay when they are getting too much.

A sign of wealth in the cow world is throwing hay on to your back. They only do that when times are good and they can afford it. Kind of like trading in a two year old car.

Don't know anything about sheep. I always go to sleep trying to count them so if I had some I wouldn't even know how many I had. It's hard to manage a herd that way.
