[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 225811, member: 337"] Wild hogs, bears, coons, and squirrels cause much more damage to feeders around the country than cattle. Everything is metal with the exception of the solar panel. Even the wiring from the solar panel is metal conduit - to fend off chewing squirrels. And there is a crap-ton of squirrels out there. My systems have The Eliminator spinner that defeats any coon who can trapeze his way under the barrel. Proper anchoring of the legs into the ground will make it secure enough for the average curious cow. An irritated or playful bull? Not sure I can design for that. Hanging the spinner very high removes "the connection" between corn and the spinner - so they don't try to pull it down to get to the golden goodness. Also - bumping legs won't get them a prize with this design. The cattle rotate off in late September - so they aren't all that hungry when they are there. I have read that non-starving cattle typically don't find scattered corn "worth their time" because picking up single kernels is a chore for their anatomy. [/QUOTE]
