What happens here

The host introduces a new patented product from Tarter Farm & Ranch: the Bextra Bale Feeder. This feeder is designed to significantly reduce hay waste, claiming up to 75% less waste compared to conventional feeding methods (which can be up to 20-25%). The design features close vertical upright bars that prevent cattle from grabbing hay from the top and pulling it out, forcing them to eat from the bottom manger area in a natural grazing position. This also aids digestion and rumen function. Gravity pulls the hay down as it's consumed, and sheeting at the bottom contains any fallen hay. This feeder is the result of an 'invention out of necessity' by the owner's family to address hay waste.

Goal: Learn about innovative bale feeders designed to reduce hay waste.
