Patent ID: 7644682

Claim:
A round bale of feedstock feeder comprising: a pair of spaced side frames, each side frame having first and second spaced legs with an upper horizontal rail joining top ends of said first and second legs and a lower tension member joining lower ends of said first and second spaced legs to form rigid side frames; a pair of spaced cross members joining each pair of corresponding legs of said spaced side frames, said cross members not being welded to said legs, and being independently adjustable along said legs, forming a bale feeder frame; a support for said bale between said side frames comprising a flexible mesh suspended from the upper horizontal rails joining the top ends of said legs of each of said pair of side frames, whereby said bale is supported above ground to prevent contamination and rotting of the bale feedstock and to permit drainage of any water in said bale; and a solid side panel between each pair of spaced crossed members whereby moving of said spaced crossed members along with said side panel up and down said legs allows feeding height to be adjusted for the size of an animal being led, and forming a barrier to keep the animals being from climbing up onto said flexible mesh.
