In Reply to: Round bale feeders posted by rrlund on November 27, 2016 at 12:17:37:
I started a cow calf operation with my brother about 22 years ago. He had about 50 head of cows at the time and I'd just bought a place and 50 of my own. The man I got the cows from sold us his used round feeders and we still are using them. Guy here makes them still. 1 inch square tube 11 gauge in an 8 foot circle. Three bands on the bottom half and one on top. The bars are angled and welded all 4 places. Only trouble I've had is they will rust out on the bottom ring if you don't get them up out of the muck to dry out for the summer. Cows push them around on frozen or dry ground but only ones that have any damage is where I got lazy and poked em with the loader. they are not hay-savers but they don't waste a lot. I made a couple of them myself out of 3/4 inch schedule 40 pipe that are 10 feet across and they waste almost nothing. I guess they have to reach for the hay so they don't back out so much. I don't try to stack the bales in them. One to a feeder so they clean it up each time works best. I've gotten 20+ years out of these and paid 75 bucks for them used. Not complaining!!! Local CO-OP sells the original ones for around 300
