    I have a few weanlings getting fed silage through feed barrier in cubicle next to slatted shed.
    Finding they are pulling a lot of silage into the cubicle.

    I have a bar attached halfway up to stop the weanlings getting out.

    Any way of feeding them through mesh or something to reduce the wasted silage.
    Or just one of those things to put up with.
