The Cashmans Galvanized Hay Cradle Round Bale Feeder is a high-quality galvanized steel feeder designed to keep round bales off the ground during feeding, dramatically reducing hay waste and the cost of ground-feeding round bales to horses, cattle, and other livestock. This hay cradle bale feeder features a removable gate on one end for easy bale loading by tractor or loader, and skid legs for moving the feeder around the pasture without heavy equipment. The galvanized steel construction of this round bale hay cradle is highly weather-resistant and will outlast painted or mild steel feeders in outdoor use without rusting through or requiring annual maintenance. This galvanized hay cradle is a multi-species feeder that works for horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, and other large livestock – one feeder investment that serves the whole farm.
This Galvanized Hay Cradle Round Bale Feeder is the serious hay-saving investment that pays back quickly in reduced hay waste compared to rolling bales out onto the ground or feeding without a feeder. Round bales fed without a feeder can lose 30-50% of their weight to trampling and ground spoilage – the hay cradle feeder keeps that waste in the feeder and on the horse’s back. Cashmans carries this galvanized hay cradle alongside the heavy-duty round bale pasture feeder, slow feed hay nets, and other hay feeding and management equipment.
