    Tanco (or similar) bale slice

    After some opinions on these- good/ bad/ indifferent.... Do feed intakes increase from these because it's not so tightly packed/ rolled into a bale as in the case of rounds just placed in a cradle feeder (for sheep). In my head I like the idea that everything is shaken up and easy to get to...

    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.
