ABSTRACT:
A portable collapsible livestock feeder comprising a rear panel hingedly attached to a lower container, and a restrainer fibrous feed attached to the rear panel. At least one hinge attaches the rear panel to the lower container. The rear panel is adjacent the lower container in a closed position, and is angularly related to the lower container in an open position. The feeder may be maintained in the open position. The feeder is maintained in the closed position by two L-shaped brackets which are rotatably mounted to the rear panel and which have a locking and a hanging position. In the locking position, the L-shaped brackets engage the lower container when the feeder is in the closed position. In the hanging position, the L-shaped brackets provide for hanging the feeder when the feeder is in the open position. In the preferred embodiment, the rear panel comprises an upper container.
