    Someone near Birr made their own, its basically a big drum made of bars that rotates. The 'drum' is mounted on a loader and is dipped down into a dumper trailer full of water and spun around with a hydraulic motor. Keep an eye on donedeal, they do come up now and again.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    An old keenan easy feeder for less than €1000 is what you need.

    Nabourgh feeds around 1000t of very a year and would be a fairly clued in type of lad. He gets lads in every year to wash his. Is it worth buying one over getting a lad in to wash it?

    To stop the clay from the beet lineing the cattles stomach and killing them over time.
