Bogue Dairy Farm has been using McAree feed bins for over 30 years and is currently using ten V-Mac silos on his pig farms. So, it is no surprise that they opted to purchase a McAree bin for their new Greenfield site.

Since we installed the McAree silo, we never had to look at it. We clean it out every so often, and the 6” side spout at the bottom of the cone is very handy for filing a meal barrow if we want to feed other stock.
