Baletidy

Apologies if this has been discussed to death. I did a search and only one post came up so I'm assuming it hasn't.

Anyway. Was wondering if anybody has used the baletidy

I don't actually want it to keep haylage tidy but more so that I can put silage into a field for my bull but not have another owners horses eat it. I don't want to risk them getting colic but the weather is so damned miserable that I need the old man to get access to silage more than he's doing. Unfortunately there is no where else to move him to - and in fairness he was there first

The horse owner is really nice and brings her horses in each night. I thought she could put the top cover off when she's bringing them in and put it on when she's putting them out. It should only take a few extra minutes. If the weather is really shocking she keeps hers in so she could keep it uncovered for the bull on those days.

I worry myself into an early grave about him cause he's really old and each winter just gets wetter and wetter.

Any info on these would be much appreciated.

Don't know much about bulls but would he use a field shelter?

Unfortunately not. He's got truly huge horns and he's not won't go into any concealed space at all. He's nearly 20 now and has been out all his life. But because he's getting older he doesn't cope with the weather as well and really dumps the weight. I can give him hard feed but what he needs most is more high protein fibre - and silage is best apparently.
