The next machine sale at Thainstone is on Sat Jan 23rd - might be something there.
See:http://www.anmgroup.co.uk/saturdaysale/index.php

Else ask this co for the location of their nearest stockist:

Had you thought of making them? Ours are bolted to a standard sheep hurdle and made from a plywood top and ends with wooden struts between them.  Access for the sheep from either side.  We started with hinged tops, but found it easier to feed the hay in from the sides - saves dealing with catches in the wet!

They can feed half a dozen sheep at a time and be moved around to suit.

Let us know if you want more information!

It may not be suited to your needs, but here is one I made a couple of days ago.

I have 3 galvanised haiks that hook over a gate or bar fence.  One is slightly bent the others never used except as fence fillers and plant protection from hens!.  Available after the weekend as they're currently blocking an under gate gap and need to remain til Saturday.  North Fife if that's not too far.

We made one from some left over wood and stock netting. Not pretty, but works fine and easy to move.

thanks for all the replies, I have made one from an old aliminium frame i had. but i would be keen to make something that can hang on the sheep hurdles. Jan and Dave if you had any pics that would be great.

cheers
