FAQ
What Hole Size Should I Buy?
There are several things to consider when choosing a hole size. Here are the basics:
- 95% of animals do well with 1.75" holes.
- For heavy breeds or aggressive eaters we recommend a 2.5" hole or bigger.
- For mini breeds we recommend a 1.5-1" hole.
- For cattle, senior horses with dental/vision issues, or thick stemy hay we recommend a 3" hole.
What Kind of Savings Should I Expect?
You can expect money, time & hay savings. The amount of each varies based on several things, but generally speaking:
- Round bale hay nets waste less than 6% of a bale.
- Round bale nets cost 50% less than other hay feeders.
- Hay nets can cut hay expenses dramatically because fewer bales are needed.
- Spend less time feeding and eliminate time spent cleaning up wasted hay.

How Long Does a Net Last?
This varies based on the type of net, how many animals are using the net and how many days a year you feed hay.
- Round bale nets normally last 2-4 years. Sometimes longer.
- Square bale nets typically last 3+ years.
- Small nets can last 5+ years.
