Abstract: A livestock feeder assembly is provided that comprises an outer frame having an open interior, whereby the feeder is adapted to support hay bales in an elevated condition and above the ground for livestock to feed upon. Within the interior of the outer frame is a plurality of inwardly directed support bar members, wherein the members are secured together by way of a chain or tether at their inner distal ends. The support bar members support one or more bales of hay above the ground, whereby the height of the bales can be adjusted by updating the distance from the inner distal ends of the members. Overall, the assembly supports hay above the ground to reduce premature decomposition, and provides openings in the frame for livestock to access the hay for consumption. Different sizes, shapes and configurations of the outer frame are contemplated.

Abstract: A novel round baler debris catcher is provided. The round baler debris catcher comprises a pair of panels that are attached in a rigid, angled relation to each other and are adapted to span the gap between a round baler's pickup head and rear axle. The present round baler debris catcher is flexibly attached to the rear axle of the round baler such that it can accommodate the vertical movement of the round baler when the round baler is in use. By spanning the gap between the pickup head and the rear axle, the present invention prevents leaves and fines from falling therethrough and ensures that they will be incorporated into the bales generated by the round baler.
