Filling up creep feeders

[focussed]

Using creep shelters this year, too narrow to pour it in from loader bucket. Has anyone got any tips or tools to help? Dam ewes are a pain in the arse!

Currently driving loader bucket up to feeder and hand bucketing it in.

get a narrow bucket made
or fill a tote bag with a spout on bottom, not sure about stopping creep
i bit of 4 inch flexy pipe you tye back up the side of bag

doggy if you need to go down the road

Have the dog there to keep the ewes away ?

I made this to fill 3-1 feeders but same principles

900l plastic pallet box and home made Shute, rachet strap to hold it on loader

Tip it further forward for faster filling.

Several bags and battle at each creep here.

8ft hoppers and 7 ft.6. bucket here ....what about simply an old narrow earth bucket with a bit of mod specially for the purpose.

Seen in the past on here............ a plastic thing you stab into a tote bag,which has a on/ off handle and a long neck..........think it was to part use a 600 kg bag of fert.......made by a french firm.......I THINK

It's called the "raimo big bag dispenser". Google search it.

I'll have a look for that dispenser thank you.

Have got a narrow bucket but it is the depth of the target means it's basically impossible to be accurate, not the width.... The target is only probably 6 inches deep.... If that makes sense

We use the snacker to carry pellets out and bucket it into the creeps. Literally takes less than a minute to fill one.

They fill hoppers as well? Wow they really are a wonder breed.[emoji13][emoji38]

 

[mr grumpy]

Yep just get the dog next to you and ewes that are thinking about having a nibble of some cake soon get a nip on the nose or tail

My greedy huntaway would empty a creep feeder quick enough
