A two-sided feeder for feeding animals while the animals grow from a first smaller size to a second larger size comprises a trough having two opposed outwardly inclined front walls over which the animals can reach for taking feed from the trough and a feed hopper for discharging feed downwardly into the trough . The height of each front wall is adjustable by a hinged or removable supplementa ry portion to accommodate the different size animals. A shelf is provided above the trough onto which the feed is deposited. The height of the shelf is also adjustable. The hopper includes two vertical side walls defining a lower neck each havin g a lowermost edge adjacent the shelf for controlling deposit of material onto t he shelf so that it remains on the shelf unless moved to the trough by the animal. Th e neck is supplemented by a clamped insert portion when the shelf is moved to its lower height.
