7. Is the feeder made for calves or adults?
The Auto Feeder can be fitted with powered creep panels to allow you to feed just calves. You can raise one side or the other with a powered wench and allow others to eat. Or just keep raised for all.

We use Heavy Duty 12 gauge steel for the base, trough and hopper. These hoppers are REPLACEABLE if they ever wear out.

The auto feeder has been tested on everything from ground corn to high grade pellets. Most pellets, cubes, and easily flowing feeds work excellent. We have an optional vibration motor for more sticky feeds.

The feeders are made with removable tongues for safety from theft, and to protect your animals from injury.
