Bale Feeders for Midwest Winters
Our bale feeders are built for deep snow, ice and big cattle. From pasture bale rings to hay‑saver style feeders, each unit is designed to reduce waste and stand up to loaders, tractors and daily use.
Just a few features include:
- Single and double‑bale feeder options
- Hay‑saving designs to keep feed off the ground
- Heavy pipe frames and skids for dragging or moving
- Options sized for cow‑calf pairs, bred heifers or bulls
- These feeders are working on farms around Perham lake country, Detroit Lakes, Fergus Falls and into the Red River Valley and western Minnesota.
Feed Bunks for Yards, Fencelines & Feedlots
We fabricate steel feed bunks that handle constant use in pens and along fencelines. They’re built wide and deep enough for mature cattle, easy to clean out, and heavy enough not to tip or walk.
Highlights include:
- Straight bunks for feedlots and backgrounding yards
- Fenceline feed bunks for easier feeding from lane side
- Bottomless bunks or belted bunks where that fits the program
- Options for grain, TMR or silage feeding
Feeder Panels & Slant‑Bar Options
Feeder panels and slant‑bar panels help control access and reduce pushing at the bunk. We build them with heavy pipe and well‑spaced openings for the cattle you’re feeding.
Features include:
- Slant‑bar panels for controlled head spacing
- Vertical bar or open‑front designs where needed
- Options matched to bunks, fenceline systems and existing fence
- Compatibility with cow‑calf, yearling and finishing cattle
- These panels are popular on operations across Minnesota and North Dakota, including feedyards near Fargo and Wahpeton.
Creep Feeders for Calves
Creep feeders and creep feeder panels let calves get the extra intake they need without cows crowding them out. We build creep systems that fit into your current pens or pasture setups.
Features:
- Creep feeder panels that gate off bunk or bale access
- Portable creep feeders that can be moved between pastures
- Bar spacing and entry heights sized for calves, not cows
- Heavy builds that won’t twist when calves grow and lean
