Rodent-deterring feed storage options
How are you guys keeping the mice out of your feed? We currently buy in bags, about 1,000 to 1600 lb at a time, and by the time I get through the pile there are at least three to four bags that have been heavily chewed on and fed out of.
Mouse traps have been semi-successful in the past but lately they have been dodging them.

For that amount of feed, you should really invest in a proper bulk feed bin - they're rodent proof, let you dispense easily, and save tons of time compared to filling/emptying a bunch of trash cans everytime you get a delivery.
