generally steady to firm on
limited sales. Lamb 55 lbs.
down steady. Boneless beef
Not only the
physical shape of the
feed trough, but the
operation of the
feeder has been
engineered to reduce
feed waste. The
trough shape cuts
down on feed loss
from “raking” and
“billing," while the
feeder has been
specifically designed
for Chore-Time’s
programmed and
performance feeding
concept.
