Feed Tub for Livestock

Bear Iron Works Heavy-Duty Feed Tubs – Steel Livestock Feeders The Heavy-Duty Solution for Healthier Livestock and Cleaner Operations Bear Iron Works Feed Tubs are the ultimate solution designed to keep hay and grain off the ground, protecting animal health while significantly reducing waste. Feeding directly on the ground exposes animals to bacteria, parasites, and contaminants that can cause illness—a critical issue in corrals, feedlots, and confined areas. Our steel feed tubs provide a clean, elevated feeding solution that supports healthier livestock and more efficient feeding operations. Why Choose Steel Over Plastic? Unlike plastic or makeshift feeders that crack and fail, these tubs are constructed from ASTM A36 Grade Steel for long-term durability in tough ranch environments. Investing in Bear Iron Works means investing in equipment that is built to last, resulting in fewer replacements over time. Feature Bear Iron Works Steel Tub Plastic / Makeshift Feeders Durability Heavy-Duty Steel: Built for long-term durability in tough ranch environments. Prone to cracking and breaking; requires constant replacement. Health Safety Elevated Design: Keeps feed off the ground, reducing exposure to bacteria, parasites, and contaminants. Often sits directly on the ground, increasing illness risk in corrals and feedlots. Weather Ready Self-Draining: Designed to allow water and snowmelt to drain naturally, protecting feed quality. Often traps water, turning expensive hay and grain into mush. Mobility Forklift Ready: Move easily with a forklift as feeding locations change. Difficult to move once loaded; often lacks sturdy lifting points. Cost Efficiency One-Time Investment: Built to last with fewer replacements over time. Hidden Costs: Wasted feed and frequent replacements add up quickly. How This Feed Tub Saves You Time and Money Reduces Feed Waste: Stops expensive hay and grain from being lost to mud and moisture.
