ABSTRACT:
A portable mobile livestock feeder includes a pair of feeding troughs for holding a flowable granular-type of feed material, a feeding hopper for holding a stem roughage-type feed material, and a mobile chassis for supporting the feeding troughs and the feeding hopper in a generally level stationary relation to the ground surface and for movement across the ground surface. The feeding troughs extend longitudinally in laterally spaced relation to one another and have open tops through which livestock can reach to eat the granular-type feed material from the feeding troughs. The feeding hopper has a bottom floor positioned between the feeding troughs at the level of the open tops of the feeding troughs. The feeding hopper also has an enclosure mounted on and extending above the floor and the feeding troughs. The enclosure includes a plurality of spaced vertical side openings extending above the feeding troughs through which livestock can reach above and over the feeding troughs to eat roughage-type feed material from the feeding hopper.
