Hiko Bucket Bar Feeder Unit for Calves & Lambs
Description
Hiko Bucket Bar Feeder Unit - Replacement Bar Section for Bucket Milk Feeders
The Hiko Bucket Bar Feeder Unit is a bar feeder section designed to fit bucket-style milk feeders used in calf and lamb rearing. It is supplied as the bar unit only and does not include a teat, making it best for farmers and smallholders who need to replace a worn bar section or fit their own preferred teats.
Bucket bar feeders give youngstock a fixed feeding point at a natural drinking height, which keeps feed times tidy and consistent in a rearing shed or on the yard. Because this is a serviceable component, you can refresh an existing feeder rather than buying a complete new unit.
