Hi,

I've ordered a handful of Teemoore group calf hutches. Was wondering, what is the best way to feed the little beasties? Probably going to have 4-8 week old calves in them. I already have troughs for the milk. But would like to keep the roughage/provin nice and dry. 0:)

We use old 25 litre plastic drums with a section cut out of the middle to give a corn trough that is protected from the rain. They need a hole drilling in the back low down so you can fasten them to the penning low down as well as at the top so that the little buggers don't flip them over.
