Description: Hay and/or silage may be loaded into a mixer-grinder 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). This mixer-grinder also can deliver the TMR for fence line feeding to cattle. Another mixer-grinder (NAL #4783) performs similar functions, except that it is not designed for fence-line feeding. At a storage silo, powered by a tractor, a bottom apron moves the load toward at 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.
