V-Feeder

A V-feeder presents feed in a V-shaped trough that animals reach into from both sides. The shape gathers feed at the bottom where it can be reached, instead of spreading it across a flat floor where it gets trampled.

V-feeders come in 5′ and 10′. The 5′ suits a small pen or a few animals; the 10′ covers a larger group and cuts down on crowding at feeding time.

They work for sheep, goats and calves, and for feed that would otherwise scatter. In a pen with young stock, a V shape also keeps animals from standing in the feed. Set it on level ground with room on both sides so animals can approach without being blocked.
