ABSTRACT:
A hay saving round bale feeder includes a rectangular framework constructed around a central round bale cradle. The framework comprises a pair of side frames, an end frame, and a cradle access gate, each of which accommodates a number of livestock feeding stations. Each feeding station is defined by a pair of parallel side bars which are spaced to allow a feeding animal to insert its head and neck but not its shoulders. The feeding stations are spaced from the bale cradle to provide an interim hay saving space into which dropped hay will fall. A hay deflector, with a cross section shaped as an inverted V, is positioned beneath the bottom center of the bale cradle to deflect any dropped hay to within easy reach of the feeding livestock.
