FEEDING STRIPS - PHOTO GALLERY

feeding strip

Drive-by or fence-line feeding is often the first major transition out of the stall barn feeding and bedding system. Seen here is a simple scrape alley and mound with a small feed platform.

windbreak feed

Here is an H-bunk style set up in a monoslope or "solar-barn" building. The producers used ginseng cloth as a wind and sun barrier to the north of this building. A bedded pack is present to the right (not pictured).
