Sheep Feedbunks

Each Cattle bunk is 10′ long.  We offer a 5″ base, that is perfect for if you decide to go with our precast pads or pour an apron along the bunk line. The base goes every 10′ at the joint of the bunk. so if your ground is not perfect the base keeps the joint more seamless even if the ground moves over time. We also offer a 5″ base with a post that is cast into a block of concrete. This post also has a optional adjustable rack.

If you decide to put the fence inside the bunk using our holes we have cast into the bunk, it allows the cattle to clean up the feed better and interlocks the bunks together, but many feedlots of set our bunks along existing fence lines and it works great.

We also make a end plug that weighs 200lbs but has a lifting hook so it is easily removed to cleaning.

Bunk Space Per Beef

Recommended bunk space for backgrounding feedlots (500–700 pounds) is 18 inches
per head. Younger cattle prefer to eat together and require more bunk space than
finishing cattle. Finishing cattle operations have a bunk space of 9–12 inches per head.
Feeding frequency also can influence bunk space: once-a-day feeding requires more bunk
space for containing the feed than operations feeding two or more times per day. Rations
containing a higher percentage of forage require more bunk space because the feed is less
dense. The receiving pen may allow 24 inches per head of bunk space to avoid crowding
and ensure cattle have access to feed upon arrival.

Bunk Space Per Sheep

The sheep flock can be fed either indoors or outdoors. Properly sized mangers will help sheep to eat
comfortably with a minimum of feed wastage.
Several factors must be considered in designing a
feeding system.
Each ewe will need 16 to 20 inches of bunk space
to allow all ewes to eat at the same time. The hay
bunk needs to be 8 to 10 inches per ewe if hay is
available at all times.
The feeder lamb needs 9 to 12 inches of bunk
space for all lambs to eat at once. This can be reduced to 3 to 4 inches if hay is available at all times.
