Small, diversified family farm selling produce, meats and value added processed. Having acreage for only a small poultry flock, a couple head each of goats, sheep, beef and dairy cattle.
Need for a feed & mineral program & stations for multi-specie supplementation and co-grazing.
No Tractor to move hay therefor dumped in field. Designed improvised low cost fenceline feeder to reduce mud, waste and allow ease of feeding.
Hay needs & waste were reduced.
