ABSTRACT:
A cattle feeding box mounted on a four wheel farm wagon of the type having a narrow reach between the steerable fore carriage and the rear axle. The feeding box has an elongate open top rectangular receptacle with lateral open walls presenting a plurality of feeding stations communicating with the inside of the feeder box. The bottom of the feeding box has a narrow central raised portion extending longitudinally for defining a space for the reach of the farm wagon, and vertical trough walls border the central raised portion. Feeding trough bottom surfaces extending outwardly from the lower edge of each trough wall, and raising slightly at their respective free edge define a relatively low and deep feed receiving pocket at each feeding station. A full width central divider disposed over the central raised portion directs the feed outwardly.
