This closed-top flex feeder for cattle has a closed ring around the top for extra strength and is built in multiple, flexible sections. At each section, it’s hinged together almost like a door, so as cows consume the hay bale, the flex feeder actually closes around the size of hay that remains inside the feeder as it shrinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this allows you to do, no matter the size of the remaining bale or the herd size, is to give your animals access to your hay, no matter the remaining size. The pressure that your animals put on the panels causes the feeder to shrink to the size of the bale. This is nice because, as opposed to your traditional, fixed, round bale feeders, the flexible panels won’t get crushed and bent as your animals try to get to the last bit of hay remaining in the center of the feeder. Some traditional feeders can get absolutely destroyed in a matter of hours by larger livestock leaning against the fixed feeder walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the closed top flex feeder, when pressure is applied to the panels, the hinges allow it to slide inward and closer to the hay bale, so your livestock has access and eats until the bale is completely gone. The hinged sections are designed with safety in mind and are perfectly safe for all of your farm and ranch animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flexible panel feeder will make you happy as well because your cattle are going to make the cleanup of that remaining hay effortless and minimize any waste, saving you hay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benefit of the flex feeder is that it allows the cattle to get to that last bite of hay. Nothing is inaccessible, and wasted, and the feeder will serve 8-10 head of cattle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePictures of the collapsible hay feeder for cattle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCow eating hay through the adjustable hay feeder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/1347\/1989\/files\/collapsible_cattle_hay_feeder.jpg?v=1770822118\" alt=\"cow eating from flexible hay feeder\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinner time with the large round bale collapsible hay feeder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/1347\/1989\/files\/Self_Adjusting_Hay_Feeder.jpg?v=1770822118\" alt=\"adjusting cattle hay feeder\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bale feeder is shown below fully opened and ready to accept either round or square bales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/1347\/1989\/files\/flexible_cattle_feeder_open_and_closed.jpg?v=1770822121\" alt=\"cattle adjustable hay feeder\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicture of the bale feeder completely closed.

This feeder actually collapses as the hay is consumed. With this feeder, you can throw in entire bales of hay in the collapsing feature allows for adjustable and entire bale consumption as the sides close in to allow access to the bale in the center of the feeder. The design and spacing between the partitions are all to ensure safe feeding conditions. You can also count on this design to save you money on hay. It comes with a unique hay-saver panel, so waste is kept to a minimum. And because this feeder features a durable, corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish, it will survive the harshest elements for years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UshFCS_UsXg\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Tarter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858860331253,"sku":"FFCT Cattle Flex Feeder","price":949.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/1347\/1989\/files\/adjustable-hay-feeder-e1689977605999.jpg?v=1759790631","url":"https:\/\/barnworld.com\/products\/collabsible-hay-feeder-for-cattle","provider":"Barn World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
