Round bale hay nets

Hi, has anyone used round bale hay nets with sheep? Seen them advertised online but mainly for horses. Fed up with the amount our sheep waste with ring feeders. Cheers Russ

I would imagine they'd be a recipe for hanging sheep tbh.

Whenever I’ve seen a sheep eat from one of the Wife’s hay nets, it usually results in a ruined net, they seem to bite through the cords.

the equine hay bells are very good...I borrowed one once....but at £500 a pop impossible to justify

The least waste I get when feeding inside is a 15 ft cattle feeders, we use old ones that aren't strong enough for cattle but Ideal for sheep, we have a round feeder designed for sheep and it's fu#king useless, I try to put a third in it to save on waste. Hayrack is ok but hard to fill.
