I have 20 horses here so feeding anything BUT round bales
is impractical. We love the convenience and after many years have never
experienced any of the negative issues occasionally attributed to feeding
rounds. A good feeder to keep the horses from pulling out the hay and
wasting it is a good investment. I have one from Hi Qual and 3 others from
a farm store. The Hi Qual is MUCH better but costs about $500.00 (I
splurged last year).
