So, Tarter is the exclusive man manufacturer on this product. Um, it's the Beextra bail feeder. So, you can see kind of a full picture here. Here is what one of the hay rings looks like. If you are feeding round bales in a round feeder, the Beckra is by far going to be the best option for you in terms of hay savings. The hay savings is accomplished in a couple of different ways. Um, one of those kind of starting from the top down. You can see these close vertical upright bars here. cattle are not able to grab from the top of that bail and then pull it down and throw it on the ground. >> They're forced to eat down here in this kind of bottom manger area. You can see here in this bottom manger area. Yep. >> Um with their heads down in their natural grazing position, which also kind of an added benefit is that that helps with digestion and rin function when they're able to eat that way. Um, but more than anything, it keeps the hay in in that bottom manger area and then as cattle eat from from this bottom area. Gravity works to pull the rest of the bail down, the sheeting on the bottom helps to keep the hay there. >> You know, I am a huge proponent of rolling out hay. >> But this saves up to what 25% of the hay bale. You said >> up to 75% reduction in hay waste. So with this, of course, you're still going to have some waste. It's going to be about 5% compared to other conventional [clears throat] feeding methods that are up to 20 25%. So, a really significant pay-saving feeder that that pays for itself.
