A Big Bale Feeder that pays for itself in a year!

Big Bale Features:

4 head-holes per panel.
Folds flat—easy to store and move.
Adult sheep can’t get inside it.
Up to 40 ewes per 6-panel feeder advised. (Too many ewes cause fighting for access.) 1200 lb hay bale should last 5 days.
Much more durable than feeders made with farmstore panels.
Adapts to most bale sizes and shapes (small bales 5 panels; large bales 6 to 7 panels).
Not for use with cattle, horses or horned animals.
Ships to you by UPS™ or SpeeDee™.
Typical lifetime of a feeder is 3 to 5 years. Sometimes longer if used with smaller/lighter animals.
