Cattle Farming/Ranching: How does a Free Choice Mineral Feeder Work?
What happens here
After filling, close the rubber mat cover back over the mineral compartments and secure it. Next, attach a heavy-duty rope to the pre-mounted chains on the feeder. Hook the other end of the rope to the tow hitch of a Honda Pioneer 1000-6 UTV (side-by-side). Drive the UTV through the pasture to the desired location, gently dragging the feeder along the ground.
Goal: Move the filled mineral feeder to a strategic location in the pasture
Tools and materials
- Heavy-duty Rope — Connecting the feeder to the UTV
- Honda Pioneer 1000-6 UTV Honda — Pulling the mineral feeder
- Pallet Jack — Moving palettes of spare minerals in and out of storage
- Tractor TYM HST T574 — Alternative for moving the feeder around the farm if a UTV isn't available or for shorter distances
