I have 3 bred angus cows, and am feeding 1000 lb, net wrapped grass hay. My pasture has lasted real well into the early winter, and put out my first bale 3 weeks ago. The cows dragged a lot of it out away from the bale, and walked and pooped, on it, loosing quite a bit of it. I decided to buy one of those round cages that I see around in pastures, so I can cut down the loss.I went to two of my local farm stores, and the cheapest one was $250.00, and the bale would sit on the wet ground. I went to a local wrecking yard and bought the bed from an 85 chevy pickup, brought it home, and lagged it down on 2 10"x10"x10ft treated skids, put a round bale in it, and skidded it out to a hillock, in the pasture, and turned the cows loose on it. The cost was $50.00 for bed, $25.00, for the skids, and $25.00 for the galvanized i/2" lagbolts, for a total of $100.00, not counting gas and labor, but who does count that?
