The bale beds and hay processors have made life easy.
I can feed 200-300 cows by myself in a few hours. Be even quicker if they weren't in several different locations. How easy is to pull a couple hydraulic controls and have 1500-3600lbs loaded in literally less than a minute.
Caking them is trickier as I prefer to jump on the back and scoop shovel off versus use a flatbed mounted feeder.
Not a big fan off cows running to the pickup with no one able to hit the brake in case a dumbass gets in the road.
Have used a couple of these. One in the bed of the feed pickup, and one on a trailer.
Just pull under the hopper, fill em up, and go feed the cows!
