I'm not sure the RDS system is dynamic, so it might not be of much use feeding out as you'd have to feed a bit and re weigh it each time.
I said ad lib feeders earlier in jest, but that's what we did on the farm I used to work on. When I left school and worked there I was one of five, plus the owner and all feeding was from bags, mixed 1t at a time on farm. 12 years later and the owner did less physical work and original employees had either left or retired, I had two new colleagues who were both in their 60s and going in yards of cattle with a bag of feed on your shoulders became dangerous. We changed to AD lib feed hoppers and a trailed 2t feed mixer which augered it into the hoppers. Didn't save work but made it easier.
