We first used the Advantage Feeders (previously 3IN1FEEDERS) in a bad spring to feed ewes. We found that as a result of having the feeders permanently in the paddock, there was no pushing or shoving at a trough. There is no waste of feed on the ground and every ewe got a fair share. Consequently, we found that all the stock are very relaxed and it cut down the workload as the feeders only need to be filled every third day. It does sounds strange, but the stock does seem to do better on the controlled access to feed that these feeders offer.
