Expert Posts: 1414	I'm going to feed round bales this winter and need a new feeder. What are your recommendations? Feeding 4 horses and one miniature donkey. Thanks!

My thinking, I'm a lot further ahead cost wise, if one of them gets hung up on a feeder, and get hurt. I just put the round bale out. At first they made a mess. But I made them clean a lot of it up before putting out a new round bale. Now, for the most part, they eat what they want, go off , rest, graze some pasture then will come back hours later to eat some more.

We have used them for big squares too, but they don't fit all that well unless you take some off each end and move it to the side. I have a big square feeder just like this, that we had made.
