Rangeland Cake
Rangeland cattle cake feeder is a high-energy, high-quality cattle feed that provides an optimal balance of protein, energy and minerals. This feed is a good choice during times when forage supply is inadequate or quality is low. This feed also helps cattle digest forage more effectively, which increases production efficiency.
This versatile feeder is easy to feed from the vehicle or a trailer. Its large bin measures 16 x 33 inches and features a spring-loaded dispensing gate. The feeding chute and the dispenser allows for safe and convenient feeding. This feeder features a large feeding opening and dispensing gate for easy access from the cab or trailer.
When the weather turns cold and snow begins to pile up, cows can become buried or trapped in the snow. It’s difficult to get cattle to a shelter or feed in these conditions. The snow also makes winter range difficult to navigate. For these reasons, many ranchers choose to place a cake feeder or bin overhead on the pickup. This way, when it’s time to feed the cattle, it can be easily dumped into the stream. Some feeders mount over the side of the pickup while others mount on the flatbed.
BeefCake
A cattle cake feeder is a convenient tool for feeding your cattle. It is adjustable and makes feeding easy. It is also weather-tight, has a chain-driven twin six-inch auger system, and is easy to use from the ground. Its design makes it easy to feed cattle in either piles or in a line, depending on your preference.
Cattle cake is a protein-rich feed that can be fed every day or doubled for a more concentrated supplement. Most producers feed 2 pounds of cake per head a day, but some feed as much as four pounds. It also has a low cost and can help reduce the amount of hay needed for the winter. In addition, cattle cake can be useful during drought conditions, a time when most hay is unavailable or of low quality.
