Poly Hay Rings

Poly hay rings are durable, lightweight feeders made from high-density polyethylene. Unlike steel, HDPE does not rust or corrode, and it resists weather damage, so a ring left out through a Texas summer and a wet winter keeps its shape.

The material also keeps the edges smooth. Cattle eating around a poly ring are less likely to catch a leg or a head on a rough weld or a bent bar, and the ring gives rather than dents when it is bumped by a tractor.

Weight is the other advantage: a poly ring is light enough for one person to move between bales without a machine, which makes rotation through the winter practical. These are built for larger herds and long-lasting, efficient feeding. For anyone tired of dragging steel rings out of the mud, the poly version is worth a look.
