20100132617 | FEEDER FOR LIVESTOCK - A feeder for livestock, the feeder comprises a lower portion including a sidewall having a top portion and a bottom portion, at least a portion of said sidewall forming a feed-receiving enclosure. A plurality of spaced-apart first bars, each said first bar extend inwardly from the top portion of said sidewall and are spaced sufficiently apart to allow an animal to place its head therebetween during feeding. An upper portion includes a top member and an intermediate member having a substantially smaller perimeter than a perimeter of the top portion of said sidewall. At least some of said first bars extend between said sidewall and said intermediate member. A plurality of spaced-apart second bars are also provided, each said second bar extending between said intermediate member and said top member spaced close enough to prevent feeding from the top portion. | 06-03-2010 |
20100212597 | J bale feeder - The J Bale Feeder is designed to minimize waste when feeding round bales to a small number of animals and/or to a variety of species, and to eliminate the need for expensive round bale handling equipment at the site where the animals are fed. The feeder consists of a V-shaped round bale cradle on wheels with a roof, a grate below the bale to catch falling hay and a hitch convenient for a regular sized pick-up or even smaller utility vehicle. To further minimize waste, the V-shaped cradle has adjustable openings for the animals to access the bale. A grated, hinged door in the back of the cradle, which opens wide to allow easy loading, combined with a similar grate on the front of the cradle, ensures that animals eat from the adjustable openings rather than the ends of the bale. | 08-26-2010 |
20120152173 | Apparatus for feeding wildlife especially deer - A holder for a block of feed is provided by a wire cage having criss-cross wires defining a back, a bottom, a side, a top, and an open front for the cage through which the wildlife can access the block of feed. The cage mounts the feed a desired distance above ground level on a stake placed in the ground and having a closed top end. The cage has a receptacle for the stake extending along and rearwardly from the wires forming the back of the receptacle. The stake receptacle extends along the entire length of the back and has a cross-section complementary to the cross-section of the stake so that a firm support for the receptacle and the block of feed contained therein is provided without the need for nailing the receptacle to the side of a tree or an existing structure, thus enabling the feed to be placed wherever desired to facilitate feeding of the animals or observing the animals while feeding especially for game harvesting applications. | 06-21-2012 |
20120279453 | DOMED HAY BALE FEEDER COVER - A domed hay bale feeder cover comprising: a circular base unit; a plurality of curved beams attached to said circular base unit, where said plurality of curved beams intersect at a central point; a bolt through said central point affixing each of said curved beams together; a flexible covering placed over said curved beams; and a plurality of stretchable cords, wherein said stretchable cords attach said covering to said circular base unit. In one particular embodiment, the diameter of the circular base unit may equal a diameter of a cattle feeder that is on the subject of the feeder. The curved beams may be soldered at a junction point to the circular base unit. The curved beams may be arranged with a 45-degree separation beam at the junction points. | 11-08-2012 |
