Best brand of creep feeder

sonnybill · 22-07-2018 2:46pm #1

I usually creep calves in August under electric wire on aftergrass, after grass won’t happen in August this year as taken up with silage ... anyone see any good value or can recommend a good brand in Connaught preferably

Plenty of good home made ones, just make sure it’s easy moved either with quick hitch for loader or somewhere for forks to go in. Also that it has plenty of storage and bird flaps.

If home made & not for road, you can make a v shape to go on links with hooks which would save getting off the tractor
