Round Bale Hay Net Knotted 5' x 4' | Slow Feeder Net with 6cm Squares - Shop Online

What Farmco Recommends It For:

Farmco recommends this knotted hay net for horses, ponies and other livestock fed from round bales in the paddock or yard. The 6cm squares slow eating to a more natural grazing pace, which suits easy keepers, stabled horses and animals on restricted diets. It’s also a smart way to keep a round bale tidy and contained.

Why It’s a Farmco Favourite:

Slow feeding helps horses spread their intake across the day, the way they would when grazing. Knotted construction holds its shape around the bale, so the net stays put while stock pull hay through the squares. Less hay trampled into the dirt means fewer wasted bales and more money in your pocket.

Slow Feeding, Naturally

Horses are designed to graze for most of the day. When they bolt hay, they can finish a feed quickly and then stand around for hours with an empty gut. The 6cm x 6cm squares make your horse work for each mouthful, stretching feed time and keeping hay moving through the gut at a steadier pace.

Cut Down on Hay Waste

Loose round bales get pulled apart, trampled, soiled and blown around. A net keeps the bale together, so your stock eat more of what you pay for and leave less behind.

Sized for Round Bales

At 5′ x 4′ (about 1.5m x 1.2m), this net fits over standard round bales. Roll the net over the top of the bale, pull it down the sides and tie it off at the base.

Strong Knotted Construction

Knotted mesh holds each square at a consistent size, so the net keeps doing its job as stock work the bale down.

Tips for Safe Use

Check the net daily for wear or damage. Remove shod horses or horses with hind shoes from net feeders if they paw, and tie off loose ends so animals can’t get caught.

Feed Smarter This Season
