ABSTRACT:
A livestock feeder of, for example, welded construction, comprises a vertically extending support leg and a plurality of inclined support legs having upper ends secured to the vertical support leg. The vertical support leg extends upward through a bale-supporting platform in the form of a woven wire screen to define a "spear" portion which penetrates the hay bale when the bale is positioned on the screen, to retain the bale on the screen. The woven wire screen is supported on a plurality of horizontally disposed support members having inner ends secured to the vertical support leg and/or the upper ends of the inclined support legs, and outer ends secured to a ring member within which the woven wire screen is disposed. The inclined support legs and the vertical support leg are also interconnected by first brace members and the inclined support legs and the outer ends of the horizontally disposed screen-supporting members are interconnected by second brace members. The woven wire screen may be rigidly secured to the horizontally disposed support members and/or the ring member, or removably secured thereto by wire twists.
