    Feeder question

    Has anyone ever fed cottonseed out of an All Seasons Feeder like the one pictured? Just trying to get the cotton seed off the ground where the pigs have access to it until I can get a pen built.

    Pretty sure that won’t work. Someone posted a plan using 2 wooden pallets to build a cotton seed feeder that I am
    Going to try. Are pigs eating the cottonseed or just rooting through it?

      Cottonseed won’t flow through that feeder. Lots of proven options out there for you though.

        They were eating it!

          Thanks! I was hoping I could take out the 2 flow regulators and that would help.

            Just build a simple platform say 30” off the ground. Make it about 24”-30” square. Place a wire feeder on the platform and fill with cottonseed. The deer should be able to eat it, but hogs won’t be able to reach it. You will need a pole or rebar to keep the wire on the platform.

              Just take you a frame from a water tote, remove tank and floor and fill it up. .. easy and cheap.

                I built one like this out of a small barrel and it worked fine. The same thing could be done with a larger barrel. I later built the pen because I added a water.

                Good Luck

                  How much will the tote frame hold of cottonseed?
