[QUOTE="Old Tip, post: 4549816, member: 292"] Most folk round here have got second hand plastic ones out of ex pig feeding places or splashed out on new ones. The wood ones were all the fashion thirty years ago, the ones we made were from our own timber and sliced up at the local mill so we’re cheap if you didn’t count the labour. But I never did reckon much to telly much rather listen to the radio while doing something useful of an evening. Got a mate with a shed specially designed for feeding hoggs, his slats are expanded metal and he only feeds a high fibre concentrate. Shears then as they go in and puts 500 a month through and reckons he will clear at least a tenner a hogg over all costs. He will buy a lot out of the fat ring that sent just right and turn them round in a few weeks and they will gain over a kilo a week. He’s been doing it a hell of a lot of years and so knows what he’s doing or he wouldn’t still be going [/QUOTE]
