This Revolutionary animal activated livestock feeder that can feed round bales, large square bales, loose hay, and processed hay. The main principle of the Cattle Systems feeders is conservation. It conserves feed by allowing the livestock to consume all of the hay before the feeder will advance. Interior push bar facilitates the natural feeding behavior of the livestock. This results in less wasted hay and less time spent loading the feeders, which directly results in lower fuel costs.
