Cormac hopper lamb creep feeder

Mac Taylor

Thinking of buying one of these, anyone use them and if so how do you find them. There like gold dust second hand. Thanks Mac

We have a few.. good job now

Have 1 as well. However don't use it often. Well built and the ewes cannt get near it.

They come up on donedeal regularly under either sheep or feeding equipment

I was looking at 2 up the road from me on Dd on sat, they were sold after 24 mins:eek:

Need one shortly so might just buy new altogether

Keeping the thing filled is the costly bit

1 last thing....I found some smaller ewes could figure it out and kinda flick up the bars and get in
Also some other ones used to poke at lambs and kinda rush into it then and an odd time get there heads in....I hope that freeing out the bars fully will sort this....didn't really use it last year(too much grass)

What price are they new?

have 1 here but I prefer the 8 foot from cormac, it takes 4 to 5 bags, the space size is adjustable and there are no wasted spaces like the hopper type

also if carrying out mixed grazing , cattle wont do any harm , but will make sh1te of the hopper type , ..... just my views after using both

€365 plus vat. (I think) I have an old creep feeder that breaks me every time I move it, lambs are 6 weeks +, thinking of pushing them purely to get them out of place asap

Only have 40 lambs but really need something handy to move but cheap. Any other alternatives. Tks.
