I hand feed due to fire ants. I don't mind self feeders and it works fine especially if u can start them on it as pups. Young dogs adjust relatively quick but in the first week or so will eat way too much. I have had dogs free feed from pups that never got fat. They just eat enough to stay about the same regardless of work level. I currently hand feed and I just have to keep an eye on the dogs to see if I need to adjust. I have gotten pretty good with my older dogs and can keep them about right. It doesn't take that long to feed and that forces me to look each dog over daily.
