Description
The perfect wean-to-finish feeder for pigs from 10 pounds up to market weight.
This is our most popular feeder with the grower-finishers because it can be used to feed a very broad size range. The trough and feed wheel have been recently re-engineered to help young pigs quickly adjust to feeding themselves with minimal human intervention and no waste. It's designed to feed about 60 pigs all the way to market weight, and some users have successfully fed even more early weaners using modern feeds, without waste or reduction of grain!

Quality Pig Feeders keep profits high
This feeder eliminates the main causes of feed waste with practically no human intervention. The mixing action of the feed wheel stops pigs from sorting out and wasting feed components they don't like. The feeder design also limits waste by slowing or stopping the flow of feed into the trough when pigs stop eating. Regulated feed flow and a smooth, self-cleaning trough virtually eliminate spoilage.
- Patented mechanical flow eliminates feed waste
- Feed efficiency and rate of gain improve when feed is kept in top condition
- Trough height, size of openings, and head spacing have been carefully designed for each size range to reduce stress and promote consumption
- Minimum adjusting required saves labor

The optional fence-line adapter kit is sold separately, and 2 kits are required per feeder, one for each side of the pig feeder. This is an extremely handy kit to have if you intend to feed on both sides of a fence. It securely attaches to the trough divider and crossbar on the feeder itself, and the pre-drilled holes allow for easy installation. The kit is made with steel and finished in a white, glossy enamel as shown below!

Pig Feeder Anchor Brackets
These brackets prevent an empty feeder from being knocked over when empty. The common 'L-brackets' come in extremely handy to secure the trough and connected feeder to the floor or a pallet. They can be used to attach to a buried railroad tie, a pallet, or even a concrete pad if available. To keep your feeder upright and working properly, consider bolting it down for security and to make sure there's no interruption in feeding!

RF2 Pig Feeder Video Review
Watch our RF2 Pig Feeder video review to see how this high-capacity, wean-to-finish feeder operates, reduces feed waste, and improves hog feeding efficiency. Perfect for small farms and commercial swine operations.
In today’s facilities, feed generally represents up to 65% of production costs. The Osborne big wheel pig feeders for nursery and finishing have been setting high standards for over 30 years.
The original round-trough leaders give the animals more space to eat and create a feeding environment that promotes consumption. They stand in a 360° spoke-like configuration that allows more mouths in the trough because they’re not standing shoulder to shoulder. This design provides more non-confrontational access and allows more pigs to eat at one time than a traditional rectangular or straight-line feeder.
The mechanical flow design of the feeders keeps fresh feed flowing and stops feeding when it’s not called for. This on-demand system prevents feed from lying in the trough untouched, where it can get kicked or knocked out of the feeder or even sit and rot if it gets wet.
The paddle sweeps on the feeder bar, helping clean the bottom of the trough as the pigs turn the wheel to call for food.
