Title: Bought something today ......
Post by: Roxy on March 14, 2010, 12:07:13 am
Well, also went to the horse tack auction and bought 6 bags of carrots for a fiver, which will keep the ponies and goats going.  But the really exciting thing was something I saw advertised, and rang about.  It was two minutes up the road from where I got the carrots so not out of my way.

It was a big rigid feeder for cattle on a stand, made of very robust plastic.  Also its got a plug hole, so can hold water if need be, or soak hay .....I want it to feed my big rough ponies round.  Its big, and will hold a whole bale of hay.  The lady mentioned she had another one, so I bought that, she reduced the price cos I had both.  Just fitted in the back of the van!!

Will be much better than feeding hay on the floor, less waste.
