ABSTRACT:
A portable feed carrier with a central feed chamber for roughage and an integral hanger attachment for attaching a pail for holding grain. The central feed chamber is formed by a flexible panel. The hanger attachment detachably attaches to a feed pail. The hanger attachment uses the weight of the pail to secure the central feed chamber in the closed position such that the roughage is not visible to the livestock. Shoulder straps are attached to the proximal and distal ends to allow a user to carry the device hands-free. Removable support rods are inserted into sleeves at the proximal and distal ends of the carrier to hold the ends of the flexible panel in alignment, and retain the shape of the carrier. The hanger strap can optionally go over or through the flexible panel, and be attached to the flexible panel, the support rods, or the shoulder strap. Optionally, a single shoulder strap can be used in place of the dual straps. The shoulder straps can be permanently attached or detachable. Optional side seals or other fastener means can be used to completely enclose the central feed chamber.
