Hang on gate feeders

[Floordoor]

Looking for ideas for ad lib feeders for lambs housed on slats, seen pictures of some plastic hang on ones thought they seemed a good idea. Any one know of companies who make/sell them?

What’s up with a normal ad lib hopper?

Have a load of the Micheal mudd type feeders for outside that we currently use when the lambs come in but they take up a lot of space, could fit an extra 10 lambs in a pen in space of one of them!

Only type of hopper I'd buy is an advantage 3 in 1.

Can you not lift the gate off and have the hopper outside flush with where the gate was?

Got a couple of these which I used to use for calves and now use for tame lambs.
Work fine for smaller numbers - just require manual filling

I've seen these myself, but always good to hear people's direct experience/opinion of them.

Would this also be useable outside?

No it will take the wet out side.
The hopper has a lid but the trough would be completely open to the elements.

old plastic pig feed hoppers are good , will need to make a hook if you want to hang them but damn good feeders for lambs that are easily filled from outside .
