Post by: Barney the Horse on October 03, 2014, 01:22:51 pm

Looking for round ring feeder for ponies. In Fife but can collect.

Maybe worth seeing if there are any farm sales anytime soon?
Stock farms will always have ring feeders for sale.

I found it easier to get a new one delivered for just over £100 (sheep weight) than drive all over looking at rusty ones for sale.  I got mine via Collessie feeds last winter if you're in their delivery area which is most of Fife but not sure how far southwest.. I was going to get a 4th this year but have less ponies and the sheep haiks I couldn't sell last winter will do the sheep now!

I agree, get a new one, I looked at some rusty heaps and they wanted a lot of money for them. I also bought a purpose made tarp to fit over the top and while that was expensive it cuts down on the waste.
