Why the 5′ Bunk Feeder is Your Go-To Cattle Feeding Solution

If you’re looking for a bunk feeder that holds up under real farm work, this 5′ Steel Bunk Feeder from Sioux Steel is built just for you. It handles feedlot, pasture, or barn use with ease — this is no delicate piece, but a tough and dependable metal bunk feeder you can count on day in, day out.

This cattle bunk feeder comes fully assembled, so you can start feeding immediately. It has a 335 lb feed capacity, which means fewer trips to refill and more time doing other farm tasks. The deep dish hopper design helps guide livestock to the feed, keeps feed in place, and prevents spillover. That design, combined with a rolled lip toward the outside, cuts down on feed buildup and mold growth — everything stays fresher longer.

Built with ruggedness in mind: 16 gauge steel tubing rated at 50,000 psi and an 18 gauge liner also rated at 50,000 psi. Welded into one piece, with rounded skid legs, this bunk feeder can take knocks, weather, and livestock pressure without bending, warping, or falling apart.

The dimensions are practical: 5 feet in length and 20 inches wide, sufficient space for several animals to eat at once without crowding. The optional hay rack lets you convert it for mixed feeding operations. Color is “Prairie Gold,” powder coated to resist rust and the rigors of daily use.

Why you’ll want this on your ranch or farm: this metal bunk feeder saves time, reduces waste, and lowers long-term feeding costs. No more constantly cleaning out spilled feed or replacing flimsy troughs. It’s built to last. Whether your operation is small or large, whether you raise cattle or mix livestock, this bunk feeder gives you flexibility, durability, and value.

• Stacking / End-to-end: Designed so multiple units can be placed end-to-end to fit longer pens. Also stackable for storage when not in use.

• Rust protection: Powder-coated steel helps resist rust. Still, consider a cover or shelter if exposed to constant moisture.

• Cleaning: Because of the rolled lip and deep dish design, scrapings are easier. Use a pressure wash every so often; avoid harsh acids that may strip coating.
