Description: Typically in winter management, supplemental hay is dropped on the ground (image 1) for beef cattle foraging on pasture, grazing a field of winter wheat, or foraging in a field of combined corn. Alternatively, hay may be fed from a large round bale feeder (image 2) to minimize wastage. Dairy cattle often are fed a total mixed ration delivered from a mixer wagon along a fence-line with access gates for the cattle (image 3). Since cattle feeding like this push some feed away from the fence where they can't reach it, a herdsperson usually returns to push the feed back to the cattle several times per day. Some fence-line feeders have head gates to capture cattle for procedures such as veterinary care or artificial insemination. As grazing animals, cattle normally are ground-feeders.
