Ensiled forage may be loaded into a feeder wagon such as this one and dropped by the wagon for fence line feeding of cattle.  Alternatively, forages may be loaded into a grinder-mixer (NAL #4783) to grind hay and mix it with all of the other ration ingredients (even silage) to produce a total mixed ration (TMR).  Another mixer-grinder (NAL #4784) performs similar functions, but it can also deliver the TMR for fence line feeding to cattle. At a storage silo, powered by a tractor, a bottom apron moves the load toward one end where rotating teeth deliver the forage into a hopper with an auger to a blower to deliver it into a tower silo.  Alternatively, the auger may deposit the load into a bunker (horizontal) silo.
