Anyone have any ideas to stop silage waste with feeders like this? I think part of it is flicking their heads up and throwing it over their back and some backing out and dropping it. Would a scaffold bar higher up solve a lot of the throwing it over their backs? Anyone devised something for...

Currently feed our cows in an old brick trough built against the wall of the shed. The current trough is way too high and they struggle to eat the last 25% and feeding inside the shed is a PITA. Planning to pull the trough and wall out as part of some shed upgrades and put some locking yokes in...

We’ve got a few very old and rough/pitted shed and indoor silage clamp floors. Ideally want a power float finish for future uses. What thickness of c40 concrete should we use to pour over the existing slab? Can’t go the full 6inch as it would cock the levels up too much. Thanks
