• Since cattle don’t have top teeth, they use their tongue to grab for forage. A 3” hole, almost twice the size of the slow-feeding net, makes it easy for them.
• Forage with thick stems, like alfalfa or straw, can be tough to eat through small holes. 
• Bigger holes make it less likely for stock to chew through the net.

Average hay consumption: 23 lbs. per cow per day.

That’s just under 8,400 lbs. (over 4 tons) PER HEAD, yearly.

Before Texas Haynet, two tons of hay per cow would go to waste, yearly. 

Using Texas Haynet, that waste is reduced to under half a ton.

Horses are mono gastric, meaning they only have one stomach. Cows are ruminant animals, along with sheep, goats, deer, bison, and others, meaning they have four stomachs.

Ruminants process forage much more efficiently than horses. Digestion begins almost immediately after consumption. In addition, ruminants have the ability to chew their cud for eight hours a day and further break down food material before it is completely digested, which makes them less prone to ulcers and colic than horses. Therefore, slow feeding is not a concern for ruminants. However, hay waste is still a major pain point for owners. Our cattle hay nets are specifically designed to address waste.
