Hay Rounds

Hay rounds are the bent pipe rings sold for repairing an existing hay ring or building one from scratch. They arrive bent and ready for easy install, so a ring that has been pushed out of shape can be brought back into service instead of replaced.

The rounds are made from 1 1/4 new pipe with an approximate diameter of 7’9″. New pipe is what gives the ring its strength at the point where cattle push hardest.

For a shop that already has the tools, buying rounds is a cheaper way to build a feeder than buying a finished ring, and repairs can be made as they come up through the season. Anyone building their own should check the diameter against the bales they feed so the ring sits right around the hay.
