Calf creep feeder

Hi I'm looking for a new creep feeder. Was looking at a fox one on glanbia website but they won't deliver up here. It's for suckler calves. Got 20 years out of the last one. Does anyone have the condon ones with the sort of pen at the front?

Friend has a Watson this 3 years. It's a seriously well built piece of kit.

Down our way A1 engineering in cobh had the best feeders. They are seriously solid .

You might pick up a one for handy money on done deal.

I wouldn’t be too keen about the Condon one with the pen at the front. I somehow imagine rain blowing against the curtain and running into the trough. But, the weather is probably worse around me than it is in other parts of the country.

Ye. We got great use out of our last one. Going to put it on donedeal and someone can fix it up.

+1 for the Watson. They are well built with an excellent paint finish. They should be fairly widely available too, as a lot of machinery dealers stock Watson products.
