In the winter months, hay rings are essential to feeding your cows. Hay rings help reduce feed waste and create a designated area for feeding. There are two hay ring options to choose from - metal or poly. Each has its strengths, and it depends on your needs as to which one will be best. The metal option provides strength and durability for those places where the hay ring might get beat up a little bit more, like the bullpen. The poly hay ring is a long-lasting solution that provides some flexibility within the material so if the bale misses the ring slightly going in, it does not bend the frame. Mobility is a key feature of the poly hay ring because it is super lightweight and easy to move around.
