The Bale-Buddy is an animal feeder with removable adjustable legs, a movable hinged floor powered by suspension or compression springs, weights, elastic bands or other power source variations thereof, a rearward and upward slanted grill and a trough that catches small bits preventing loss of feed on the ground and constructed in various lengths to accommodate group or solo feeding. The powered hinged floor can be fixed in its lowered position for bulk filling the feeder from the rear as well as from the top. When released from its lowered filling position the powered hinged floor raises feed upward and forward to the back slanted grill as feed at the grill is consumed. By raising the feed upward and forward, every bit is reachable by the animal(s) leaving no amount of feed to decay. The feeder can be constructed in various lengths thereby accommodating the simultaneous feeding of multiple animals. To accommodate a different type of animal like sheep, llamas, deer, alpacas, horses, etc. one merely changes the grill to one with different spacing between the vertical grill bars. The elevation of the feeder is changed by setting it on the ground or by adjustable legs thereby accommodating the various sizes of animals. The Bale-Buddy is an improved feeder that saves money, feed and labor.
