We have receieved wonderful unsolicited feedback (and thank-you cards) from sheep, goat, alpaca and llama breeders who are now using the Grate Bale Box Feeder feeding system. The growth and success of this company is primarily from the best advertising available: word of mouth from very satisfied customers. Word-of-mouth advertising only works for products that are exceptionally great. Here are some quotes:
"...You obviously know what you are doing when it comes to baling hay and this information (included with feeder) was worth the price of the feeders to me. I hope to buy some more feeders in the future, as my money supply will allow. They are, by far, the best feeder I have seen anywhere."
"...I think your feeders are good enough that I would recommend them without any hesitation..."
"I have decided to buy an additional feeder from you..." (We've had several of these!)
"It is wonderful to have a hay feeder that works so well for fiber animals. I'm tired of seeing feeding and handling equipment for sheep to be nothing more than scaled down versions of cattle equipment..."
"After seeing how my friend's feeder works, I just had to get one for my angora goats..."
"Thank you! We were worried about a hay shortage this winter due to the drought last summer but your feeder WORKS!"
"...We (Pete, Karen & I) are really promoting the grate feeders and could use some brochures. People keep commenting on our clean fleeces and we 'preach the gospel'! Every visit to our farms raises interest, would appreciate brochures so we can hand them out as requests come..."
A big THANK YOU to our satisfied customers for spreading the word...One way we can keep prices down is not having to pay for expensive advertising.
