Feeding your livestock has never

We are family owned, and operated. We strive to provide excellent customer support, and we work hard to keep our product of high quality. The HayDelay feeder was originally designed for personal use on our farm, but every time people came to our place they where amazed with the feeders we where using and always asked where they could purchase one. So after two years we finally decided to manufacture them for the public.

We have used the feeders with our personal horses and have found they are a huge time saver, and we started to notice our horses where looking better than ever, and our feed bill was less than it ever had been. Also we discovered we where having less problems with colic.

These feeders are a wonderful addition to any farm, stable, or even if you only have one or two horses you will love your feeder. Once you have one, you wonder how you ever did without one.

What makes the HayDelay feeder unique to any other automatic horse feeder, it does not require you to alter your stalls, or barns. It can be used outdoors or indoors, and it holds more feed than any other one on the market, it will not get bogged down with wet feeds or molasses feeds. Since it is made out of galvanized metal there is no worry about paint flaking off or rusting, or wearing down in the weather like plastic often does, it is cheaper than similar units.

There was an article that appeared in the "The Horse" magazine in February 2009 titled "Barn-O-Matic" written by Karen Briggs that talked about Automatic Feeders:

"Imagine sleeping in on a Saturday morning, secure in the knowledge that an automated feeder is delivering your horse's hay and grain for you!

It's no fantasy. Several manufacturers now have feeding systems that can be programmed to deliver feed at a particular time. Some handle only grain, some hay, and some both-and some are designed to deliver several feeds at frequent intervals throughout the day, mimicking a horse's natural inclination.

As with Waterers, durability is key in an automated feeding system. Consider the materials and location of a unit before you buy. If it's painted metal, it might chip, rust, or develop sharp edges. If it's plastic, it might degrade with sun exposure. How the unit is powered is also a concern; some might require an electrical outlet, while others are battery- or solar-powered. Finally, there's the convenience factor. How easy is the unit to install, fill, and clean? How much feed will it hold, and what kind? (Most automated feeders will get bogged down by sticky, molasses-laden feeds, or wet feeds like beet pulp, but they might do find with pellets or extruded diets.)

Western pleasure competitor Sylvia Pattinson recently installed automated feeders in her 12-Stall barn in Brighton, Ontario, Canada, to deliver hay to her Quarter Horses. "I program them to feed hay a flake at a time through the night, and there does seem to be less wastage this way" she says. "I haven't had them long enough yet to see if they cut down on the risk of colic, but I do believe that feeding smaller meals more often, is healthier. I have noticed that the one mare who is a cribber is cribbing less since we got the feeders."

Depending on your needs, an automated feeding unit can cost anywhere from $300 to $2,500 or more." - Full article Here
