Ring, Hay Saver or Cradle
Open ring
The cheapest feeder, $320 to $410. Cattle pull hay out and step on it, so more is wasted than with a saver.
Hay saver
Solid sheeting on the lower half and narrow openings keep hay inside. Tarter’s 8 ft. cattle saver is $399.99, only $76 more than an open CountyLine ring.
Cradle
Holds the bale off the ground in a V. Tarter’s galvanized cradle is $599.99. Less waste and easier to load with a spear, at a higher price.

Hay Feeder Questions
How much does a round bale feeder cost?
$323.99 for a CountyLine 8 ft. ring to $549.99 for a Tarter Titan bull feeder. Horse and hay saver feeders run up to $649.99.
Is a hay saver feeder worth the extra cost?
The Tarter 8 ft. cattle feeder with a hay saver is $399.99, $76 more than an open ring. Open rings waste more hay as cattle pull it out and trample it.
How many cattle can eat from one round bale feeder?
An 8 ft. ring gives room for about 10 to 12 cows at once. Put out a second feeder when more cattle than that feed at the same time.
Can I use a cattle bale feeder for horses?
Horse feeders have openings sized so a horse cannot get its head trapped. Use an equine feeder such as the CountyLine Equine Pro for horses.
