second hand silo's
« on: April 10, 2012, 05:31:22 pm »
We are currently going through two tonnes of feed a month ( pigs and hen) and am wondering about the practicalities of getting some sort of bulk feeder where the feed can be blown in rather than sold by the bag.  I think that we would be looking for a 4/5 tonne container and this would be a saving of about £100 per tonne.

Any advise would be appreciated.

I have often thought about this but my biggest concern is the feed spoiling, getting mold or just going stale and loosing its goodness, have yet to decide if its worth it or not.......
