That is true but it's better than the open pans which make up the majority of my feeder styles, need to see it in person... Feeders in bad weather are such a pest to come up with, i'd keep it all in the barn but they will argue and keep some of the little ones out so scratch that...
I can get a lid so that would keep most of the feed dry and clean... i want it for outside as were starting to get into our rainy season and snow is on it's way...
