Bale Slip Bag — Square Bale Slow Feeder | Nag Bags
If you have ever refilled a haynet at midnight because it was empty by noon, or spread a fresh bale only to find half of it trampled into the mud by morning, the Bale Slip Bag is the fix. It holds two small square bales and releases hay slowly, the way a horse would naturally graze — a little at a time, spread across the day. Your horses stay busy, stay fed, and stay calmer. Your hay bill goes down.
The Bale Slip Bag is practical enough for everyday barn life and flexible enough for a dozen different setups. Leave it loose in the pasture to encourage natural foraging movement, or drop it inside a tub or box feeder if you have shod horses that need the net kept out of pawing range. It fits right into the Tarter Basket and works just as well for weekends away when you need peace of mind that your animals are covered. Four mesh sizes — 1", 1.5", 2", and 2.75" — let you dial in the feeding pace for any animal from minis and goats to drafts and cattle.
Beyond the convenience, the health case for slow feeding is real. Consistent forage access keeps stomach acid buffered, which helps reduce the risk of ulcers, colic, and cribbing. Horses that are never left with an empty stomach tend to be calmer, less fence-focused, and easier to manage all around. The Bale Slip Bag is hand assembled with knotless nylon blend netting, rated for a 3 to 5 year lifespan, and every net ships with a strand of twine included.
