We have a group of about 75 two year old bulls. They are rough on them if you don't get broken bolts fixed right away. Keep the bolts in place and they hold up well. Heifers and cows are pretty easy on them but you will still get occasional broken bolts.

The ones I see sell at auction are rarely cheaper than they can be bought new. And always "well used". It's like fence materials, I don't know if people have no idea what they're worth or of they just get caught up in the bidding. But most fencing and feeding materials I've seen sell at auction go for more than they cost new.
I agree with you, M. Magis.

330, sure wish I could give you an opinion but I've never heard of poly feeders until your posts, I've had a bull that beat a metal ring into scrap, same with gates. The bull I kept out of him is completely different he pushes them around but not like his dad. Good luck what ever way you go. I'll be looking for your future info on how things work out. Congrats on your so far successful calving season. Casexx
