ABSTRACT:
The collapsible livestock feeder having a plurality of feeder sections pivotally secured to one another. Each feeder section includes a feed retainer and a hold back. The feeder section retains feed therein for access by an animal. When the feed in the retainer has been eaten, the animal uses the hold back to move the feeder section inward to access additional feed. The feeder sections thereby collapse around the feed, and do not require movement of the entire feeder to access feed at the interior. The modularity of the feeder also allows for ease of take-down, transport and set up.
