Double Hay/Trough Rack

A double hay and trough rack combines two jobs in one frame: hay on one side and a trough on the other. It suits a pen where animals need both roughage and feed or water without two separate pieces of equipment taking up room.

The double-sided layout lets animals eat from either face, which reduces crowding when a group comes to the feeder at once.

Racks keep hay up off the ground and hold a trough where it can be filled and cleaned easily. That combination makes daily chores quicker on a place with sheep, goats or a mixed pen of small stock. Set it on level ground with room on both sides, and check that the hay section holds the bale or flake size being fed.
