I can't say its something I've seen, I wouldn't expect them to use the fronts to that extent with rolls vs blocks or roots
If not too many sheep drop a handful into the first trough and while the sheep are all piling in to that put feed into the second trough, if a lot of sheep a handful in the second one too. Go down the line and then retrace your steps and fill the first trough up.
I do it like that too; dump some at one end then go straight to the other end and back fill along the line. The sheep are too busy trying to catch up to get in my way then. Mine BWM won't eat rolls, they are too big for them.
