I noticed your bales are tied up with twine. A lot of folks use net wrap. Do you think there are benefits/drawbacks to both methods, or is it more a matter of preference?
@@megd7593 Good question! We like string if the bales are staying outside. If there is snow and ice string is easier to get off. Net wrap is nice because it don't rot and wicks the water off little better. The draw back on net wrap is that it could be a pain when snow and ice get on the bales. We don't move the bales all that much to feed so string makes it nice because after a while it rots and you don't have to cut it.
This feeder looks like a slick rig, wouldn't you need a roof so the rain doesn't get to the feed?
@@bendugas8632 that would be great, maybe on a future project
