Sheep Hay Feeder with Built-In Pan for Waste Control

Feeding sheep efficiently is one of the ongoing challenges ranchers and farm owners face. Sheep naturally pull, tug, and scatter hay, leaving much of it wasted on the ground. Over time, that wasted feed translates into wasted money. The Sheep Basket Feeder with Pan by Lakeland was created to solve this issue. It combines a rugged basket-style hoop frame with a built-in steel pan beneath, so every bit of feed stays useful.

This sheep hay feeder is made with a heavy-duty 1-1/4" square tubing steel frame and flat steel hoops sized ¼" × 1½". The hoops are spaced at approximately 7-1/4", wide enough for comfortable access but narrow enough to prevent over-pulling and unnecessary scattering. With this design, sheep can feed calmly and safely without making a mess of your hay.

What sets this feeder apart is the 14-gauge steel pan built directly under the basket. Any hay or grain that falls is caught in the pan instead of being lost to the ground. That simple addition makes a huge difference in reducing feed loss, keeping your operation cleaner, and improving cost efficiency. The pan also makes cleanup faster, since less feed ends up scattered across the pen.

The feeder is available in 5-foot and 6-foot lengths, giving flexibility depending on your flock size and space. It can be used as a standalone unit or arranged in rows as part of a larger feeding system. Its modular adaptability means your investment grows with your operation.

Daily chores are simplified too. Instead of sweeping wasted hay off the ground or buying extra feed to compensate for losses, you can focus on other tasks that add value to your ranch. Health benefits also come into play: when feed is kept off the ground, sheep are less exposed to dirt, droppings, or pests that can contaminate their food. That means healthier animals and fewer potential veterinary issues.

In real farm life, small design details make a big difference. The Lakeland Sheep Basket Feeder with Pan combines durability, efficiency, and animal welfare into one piece of equipment. Over time, it saves feed costs, reduces labor, and helps keep your flock calmer and healthier.
