Do chop the straw for the ration ever ?

No, they will all be dried off in 8 weeks time so dont do anything fancy like chopping straw!

Cattle on my relatives farm never get chopped straw, if straw is feed its bale straight into the ring feeder, my cousin kept up that practice as his dad did it for years, isn't keen on the idea of a straw chopper !

Mines the same machine, I bought very small conduit off eBay and threaded the milk pipe through it and put poison in the duct but even the mice chewed that. And the service guys took the conduit off when they replaced the pipes at service time ??‍

2 machines with 8 wash stations here for sale very soon.
