Is it proper out of parlour with rationed amounts or just a massive creep feeder?

Nice, good work! How often does it need filling up?

 

[Coldbrook]

I'm on a 2 day paddock system so I move and top up every other day.

 

[Grazer]

Very impressed. But seems a ball ache of an extra job to do.

 

[Coldbrook]

With oopf I have always struggled to feed fresh cows at grazing and its not much extra work, I take the jcb instead of the jeep to fetch the cows.

If that was our cows they would have it rolled over and be eating out the top.

 

[crashbox]

Clever idea.

Does it have a computer sat there with it to monitor/limit how much each cow has?

 

[Coldbrook]

yes, the feeder motors work direct off the battery and there is an inverter to run the computer and console.

Didn't think of that, reckon mine would be the same
Shame as I'd just sent it over to tp all excited saying we have a winter project

Rolling bar across the front would sort that, but troughs should be empty, unless of course you put eid collars on the badgers!

 

[Coldbrook]

I've put a wire below the feeders than I clamp onto the electric fence. But the area is cleaner than I thought it would be, no spillage.
