My herd is what is no classed as a small fairy herd, just over 100 tue stalls. I have had bags and pits. Bags are good storage, but do cost more, and you have to get rid of the bag. Unless the bag is filled on a concrete pad, the ground in front of the bag becomes a rutted mud hole in November and December. Then in January the ruts are frozen til spring, not much fun either.

So even the spoiled feed has a use.
