Saving feed featured at Neptune Enterprises

If it has to do with dairy or beef animals, Neptune Enterprises may have just what you are looking for. Dick Hauser is featuring a new bale feeder at the show this year that really saves feed. “Up to sixty percent” says Hauser. The feeder has a tapered top on top of a full-sized base so if the hay falls out it falls within the base. It is available in three different styles, the base, a longer-life version and one that is designed to accommodate long-horned cattle.

Hauser has been an active member of the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association and has been involved in World Beef Expo since its inception. That show was held last weekend and Hauser says attendance and participation were surprisingly strong. He does believe we are going to see further contraction in the nation’s beef herd but thinks producers in the upper Midwest may hold on to their cattle.
