ABSTRACT:
Three tubular rings are spaced apart by tubular vertical members. Animal-head openings are defined by the top and middle rings and the opposite vertical members. The space from the middle ring to the bottom ring is covered with woven-wire fencing material. The circular structure may be disassembled into three arcuate sections having angle-iron members at opposite ends with legs which overlap and are bolted together. An alternate embodiment is of a unitary construction. The method of using the circular feed bunk includes placing the hay on the ground and placing the feed bunk on its side adjacent the hay and then tipping the feed bunk onto and over the hay whereby the animals may feed on the hay through the animal-head openings. The bunk may be rolled between feeding stations when positioned on its side.
