Anyone know a price for out of parlour feeders recently or pros and cons

You’ll be wanting ones with gates that close behind the cows. Put some in without the backing gates about 10 years ago but haven’t used them the last few years, the ones we had were too unreliable and we had problems with certain cows hanging around them all day waiting to hammer other cows out of them and then steal their meal.

Yea I know rightly this would happen. Would like to know a price on new ones before doing anything all the same as going to batch cows next year hopefully anyway

Send the water boys a cheque with the number of each meter in a list on the back. Only way to pay multiple meters at once. I tried but that was the only way, just getting them not to phone for each meter when overdue was a problem. 5 or 6 phone calls in one day!
