Nebraska
Not trying to steel this guys thunder on his bale feeders but my thoughts on this style after building several for our own operation. Sheeting around the entire top is a must or the very least a pipe on both ends. What happens is cows\calves eat one side off more, bale tips and a top layer of hay slides off and onto the ground and tromped into the crap. No matter what calves cannot reach the center so the bale gets mushroomed around which you’ll then need to rearrange with loader after day or two. Stuff accumulates in the bottom regardless of how good of hay it is. Dirty bottoms, wet hay ect so you need to make hooks or a simple and fast way to pick up with loader and move. They do save a lot of hay!
