Thats thinking with your dip-stick, Jimmy!
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

About the only problem may be when they are about out of hay. Calves may have more trouble too.

Looks good . Use bale spears or pallet forks with loader to flip it over when it needs cleaning

Can calf's hoofs fit through the bottom if the get on the feeder? May be a broken leg or other vet bill if so. Calf cannot get on it... I would still cover the bottom with something solid.

Agree with others about possible leg problems, Cows are going to waist a lot of hay being fed that way. i got tired of replacing the round bale feeders and took the hit on some hay saver type bale feeders. Down here that's what our 3-4 year old hay looks like. You don't have any mold problems with it? https://www.gafeeders.com/hay-savers

330, I deal with cattle proofing stuff daily. Put metal valve stem caps on each tire. It won’t stop one from chewing it off but it really helps. If I don’t put metal caps on and a electric fence around our pivots when we graze wheat in the winter. I end up with missing valve stems and flat tires. Trailer looks good! Nice job
