ABSTRACT:
The invention is a livestock hay feeder/storage device and involves the principle of utilizing a covered feeding device that can also serve as storage space for hay. It consists of a box-like steel structure that may be mounted on skids or wheels for mobility. The ends and top are covered for weather protection and the other two sides consist of removable/adjustable gates through which the animals can eat. These gates can be adjusted to control, or ration, consumption of the hay. The adjustable gates can be easily removed to allow filling the structure without heavy equipment. Each side of the "box" is constructed as a separate part so the device can be easily disassembled into its component sections for storage when not is use. No special tools or equipment are required by the operator to load or disassemble the device. Various materials of construction may be used to fabricate this device. This invention was designed utilizing general technical knowledge of construction and requires no special construction techniques or materials. No disclosure Document was filed.
