The apparatus is provided for automatically distributing hay for feeding livestock scattered along a predetermined path along which an overhead beam extends. The apparatus comprises a driving unit moving along the beam. The driving unit has a carriage mounted onto the base and provided with wheels mechanically connected to the beam and to an electrical motor for moving the apparatus along the beam. The apparatus supports a hay bale, more particularly a rolled hay bale, with the use of a rod having an end for connection with the driving unit and an opposite end connected to a supporting member supporting the hay bale. The apparatus also has a winch mounted on the driving unit base for lifting and lowering the hay bale.
