Hello!
We are just starting our Dexter adventure.
Currently we have just 2, a heifer and a steer. Max we will have 4.
We are pulling hay off round bales and giving it to them on the ground daily but the waste is making me crazy. Obviously putting a full round bale isn’t the way to go with just 2, so what are your best suggestions for a small hay feeder? Something that holds it AND catches what they pull out. Is it better if it’s something they put their heads through? I prefer something lower to prevent dust and hay seed getting in their eyes. It will be in a covered area. Thanks for any diy or store bought ideas!!
