A trailer mounted automatic livestock feeder for feeding livestock in a field
employing
a timed feeding mechanism allows for a rancher to fill the feeder storage bin with
bulk feed pellets at a bulk feed location and tow the feeder to location where
livestock are feed and set a timer located on the feeder to feed livestock at a
set time distributing a controlled amount of feed pellets to a perimeter trough
located on the feeder trailer for several days, or until the amount of feed pellets
are depleted. The feeder is provided with shielding that prohibits the livestock
from access to the feeder storage bin, and is also provided with a rechargeable
solar battery power supply allowing for use of the feeder in remote rural locations
where there is no electrical power.
