Feed Smarter, Spend Less
A good hay feeder doesn’t just hold feed—it helps control waste, improves animal access, and reduces labour. Our designs are built with daily farm life in mind, from the way bales are loaded to how animals feed. Whether you’re feeding a few head or full mobs, our feeders are wide, stable and easy to relocate when paddocks rotate.
Everything is fabricated locally with reliable steel and strong welds, so you don’t have to worry about collapsed frames or sharp edges. You'll get more out of every bale and spend less on replacement gear. Call 0428 323 208 to find the right feeder for your livestock.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a hay feeder help reduce waste?
Hay feeders prevent livestock from trampling, sleeping on, or scattering hay across the paddock. When hay is thrown straight on the ground, animals tend to eat the top layer and walk all over the rest - especially in wet or windy conditions. A well-designed feeder keeps the bale elevated, contained and easy to access, which helps reduce spoilage. It also slows down consumption, particularly with round bale setups, so you're not refilling every other day. Over time, that adds up to serious savings on feed costs.
What type of hay feeder is best for my stock?
That depends on what you’re feeding and how. Cattle generally do well with heavy-duty round bale rings or cradle-style feeders. Sheep and goats benefit from tighter rail spacing to stop them climbing in or dragging feed out. Horses need smooth edges and open access to avoid injuries or broken manes. If you feed in multiple paddocks, portable feeders are ideal. For set-stocked areas, heavier units can stay put for longer periods. The right fit isn’t just about the bale - it’s about reducing waste while making feeding easier on you and your animals.
Are hay feeders hard to move or clean?
Not if they’re built right. Many feeders are designed to be tipped, dragged or lifted with a loader or forks - so they can be moved between paddocks or out of the mud without a lot of effort. Cradle feeders and open rings generally have enough clearance to hose out or shake loose, and some can be disassembled if deep cleaning is needed. Choosing a feeder with good ground clearance and solid welds also means less build-up of wet feed underneath, which keeps both the hay and the animals healthier.
