Hay and/or silage may be loaded into a grinder-mixer such as that shown here to grind the forage and mix it with all of the other ration ingredients 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 of the wagon 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. Ensiled forage may be loaded into a feeder wagon (NAL #4782) and dropped without added feed ingredients by the wagon for fence line feeding of cattle.
