[QUOTE="early riser, post: 7355084, member: 11583"] I’m facing a similar dilemma with a small group of dry cows I’d like to feed down a barrier, but the feed fence would be north facing. Only 20ft between feed face and another parallel building so can’t get square on with TM320 to tip into a covered bunker. Looked at various options but cheapest (in terms of avoiding lots of building work) seems to be buying a S/H auger/mixer bucket to fill trough with handler. But folks on here don’t seem to rate auger buckets :unsure: Have also seen on another farm where they had a thick curtain, like what you get on a curtain sided wagon, hanging down over feed fence and cows just seemed to nose happily at it whilst eating their TMR. Not sure how they get on in terms of pushing feed up though, and pretty sure my cows would have a good go at eating something like that :X3: [/QUOTE]
