Anybody ever use one of those Tarter cradle type feeders? The ones where you set the bale in them lengthways. I need a new feeder before I wean calves. I didn't figure they could climb in one of those and crap all over the hay and that they could reach all the hay and clean it up so I didn't have to keep throwing it to the outside.
My big concern is that they'll eat the sides out of the bale and the top will slide off in to the manure instead of the feeder. Are they wide enough so they'll catch it or am I right to fear they'll slide and miss?
