Big Bertha #5 - Timed Release Protein Feeder

[TXBRASS]

That's a Great looking feeder. been wanting to build something like that. Are you bagging the protein to fill of getting a truck to fill ? how much you think it costs to fill up each time ? That's my biggest drawback ??? I'm spending about 300.00 for 3 months or so, which i know is chump change for some. Seems like my feed Bill is more that my Lease payment

We haul bags. It will be going in a very remote area of west TX so that’s the only way. My feed bill is more than my lease as well, but just part of it for me. Spending money on what I enjoy. About $400 to fill it up every 70 days.

Not sure what kind of tubes you are going to build to get your hopper to last 70 days....

Tim,

My tube holds 4 pounds per dump.... 70 days will be easily attainable.

I think you have the ultimate feeder idea. I like it.

Any problem with lack of ventilation on feed stored that long?

Thanks for the great build thread

Never out west, but there’s very little humidity there. On our place in Lavaca Co that might be a different story.
