You can often see large feed silos on farms. The feed for the animals is stored in tower-like structures.
These structures keep the feed fresh and clean. The feed silo also protects the feed from hungry mice and rats that would otherwise keep nibbling enthusiastically at the bags of feed. The farmer fills the silo from the top until it's full. To take feed out, he opens a hatch at the bottom of the silo using a lever and empties the feed directly into the trough when required.

Schleich was founded by Friedrich Schleich in 1935. Its figurines were first released in the 1950s with the development, production and marketing of comic figurines such as Snoopy and The Smurfs. In the early 1980s they added animal figurines and Muppet characters to their range of products.
