<p>FEEDER FOR ANIMALS A feeder for cylindrical bales includes a lower circular band defined by hoops and an upstanding sheet of material forming a skirt. Frames or members are then attached to the outer frame and extend upwardly therefrom with the animal able to reach between the frame members for grasping feed from a bale confined within the feeder. In accordance with the improvement of the present invention, the frame members are bent inwardly and upwardly so that the animals front legs are confined outwardly away from the bale while the animal can reach over the inclined portion of the frame member and through the vertical portion of the frame member to the bale. The animal is encouraged to feed within the outer frame and cannot be trampled or spoiled. The animal is inhibited from pressing its shoulders against the frame thus reducing damage or breakage and excessive movement of the feeder.</p> |
