Testimonials - Advantage Feeders

Okay folks, I am going to say I was a skeptic! Brian wanted this feeder so I agreed but secretly didnt think it would work. Today, while Brian is at work, I went to the barn to feed the pens, and secretly to feed the rest of the herd (Brian would kill me but I thought maybe they are starving) I made sure I got enough individual buckets. Filled them up with 1 cup each (a snack). Guess what???? They didnt want the feed!!!!! What???? Okay Brian, I publically admit it, the feeder is the real deal! No more fighting, no more work separating, no more individual buckets......... oh well, more time for snuggles! Love my goats!!! If interested and in the area contact Brian, so he can get you on the next shipment and save $$$ on shipping!

“We are extremely pleased with the grain feeders. No wastage and great for the goats because they can't climb into them. Best feeders we have ever had and the palm kernel flows through them nicely.” Debbie Fox

"Over the past few years I had been feeding my ewes 3 times a week for 5 months of the year. My Advantage Feeders Grain Feeders allow me save this expense. They also give me the flexibility of putting stock in containment areas with out the down-side of feeding them daily due to the lick restriction of the dual adjustment system."Mick Cameron

“My Advantage Feeders Grain Feeder is a key component of my lamb finishing system: it’s big enough to not need frequent filling; there is minimal waste; I can easily see how much feed has been eaten and relate that to measured weight gain by viewing the volume scales. Plus they're good people to deal with.”Graham Holdaway

“I chose Advantage Feeders because they were the best value for the size of them and the adjustment system was the most advanced going around. The functioning of the lid makes checking the feeding outflow easy. We bought 8 of them in flat-pack form and they were straight forward to assemble with the manual.”Scott Barr

“I am running around 4000 ewes in drought times. I wanted to feed the sheep faba beans and thought the feeders were a good way to regulate the supply over weeks with no need to go out every few days. I found they work well with the sheep not using them when other feed is available, and starting again when they are short of feed; at the moment (5/08) a 46 bag feeder full of faba beans is lasting 600 ewes around two weeks (was one month) I got rid of the seconds from seed cleaning no effort this year! The lick feeding design of the troughs work very well. The sheep have kept condition and I am hoping they keep their lambs better as feed is scarce.” Geoff ParkerBalranald NSW

“I had several other self feeders before I bought some Advantage Feeders Sheep Feeders and only used them for finishing lambs. With the double adjustment system of my new feeders I can also put them with my ewes and make them work like hell just to get a bit when they are on dry feed.”Noel CockingKerang VIC

“The regulation system on our Advantage Feeders has meant that we know our sheep are getting the right amount of nutrition. This year we plan to increase the lambing percentage in our twin bearing ewes by placing Advantage Feeders with them to reduce mis-mothering associated with trail feeding.”Kim and Colleen ParsonKintail Park, Jerramungup WA

“We use Advantage Feeders in our prime lamb production business in two different ways. Firstly they are used to back-ground lambs then we incrementally increase the quantity of feed output (by way of a simple adjustment on the feeders) up to ad lib feeding of grain. Secondly we use them to supplementary feed our lambing ewe flocks. These feeders are an ideal size and they minimize the need to use a trailer feeder therefore our sheep are much more settled.” Peter and Wendy Bessell-BrowneWoodanilling WA

“We can see a lot of potential with the Advantage Feeder feeding a pure lupin ration to keep a protein source available while utilising stubbles and dry feed.” Perry Corker Hiview Merinos, Boyup Brook WA

“Advantage Feeders have allowed me to reduce my labour inputs while increasing my production from my ewes. The information and service provided has been exceptionally good.” Adrian Veitch

“I think the Advantage Feeders products are exciting and revolutionary. I have all my ewes running on them. I value having the peace of mind knowing that our ewes are constantly accessing a safe feed source with low labour requirement.""Michael Page

“We breed stud Boer goats and mainly feed weanlings on. As a smaller operator we previously fed pellets out daily into troughs but as the goats get bigger and pushier it becomes difficult to feed this way. There were also issues with waste as the goats would stand in the troughs and any rain would also spoil the expensive feed. Since getting the Advantage Feeders all of the above problems have been resolved. The pellets stay dry in all weather, the goats cannot climb into the feeders and we are not tied to a difficult daily chore. Also with these feeders it is easy to adjust the amount of feed that the goats get so they do not overeat. Great Feeders!Bev SzolkowskiSouthland Boer Goat Stud WA

“Advantage Feeders have changed the way we run our sheep. We are able to set the feeders up for exactly what the sheep require and know they are getting the correct rations for two to three weeks at a time while getting on with other seasonal jobs like seeding and harvest. The feeders have also stopped the wastage involved with trail feeding and contamination in our grain crops”Cameron White Nepowie Stud WA

“From my experience, Advantage Feeders can provide labour-saving delivery of supplements for efficient nutritional management of sheep and cattle.”Dr John MiltonIndependent Lab Services WA

“The stud purchased 12 Advantage Feeders to reduce the amount of time spent trail feeding and to provide constant access for sheep to supplementary feed rather than trail feeding every other day. Initially we found it difficult to believe that sheep could access grain through such a restricted outlet. However after monitoring grain usage over the first couple of weeks it was clear that the feeders were indeed capable of controlling the consumption of grain, at a predetermined rate. A further 14 feeders were purchased to provide enough feeders in paddock so they only require filling about once per month. Each month the sheep are condition scored and the feed rate adjusted to suit their supplementary feeding needs. Once set up, it’s too easy.”Harry WilsonSerena Park Superfine Poll Merinos WA

“My grain feeders from Advantage Feeders are used to virtually eliminate mis-mothering. We have also been using the feeders for weaners with the following benefits:

They cannot gorge themselves on the grain,
There is no wasted feed,
As they hold over 2 tonne of grain, the time saved over trail feeding is very welcome during seeding, and
With feed available to them at all times they are maintaining their condition much better.”

Bill Flint Narembeen WA
