The IAE tombstone feeder is a circular, heavy-duty feeding solution specifically designed for cattle, especially those with horns. Its structure consists of sturdy galvanised steel, known for its durability in harsh farming environments. Typically, it features a 12-sided ring, offering 12 feeding stations that allow multiple animals to feed simultaneously. This design is key in reducing competition among cattle and minimising aggressive behaviour.

One of the standout features of this feeder is its “tombstone” design. This ensures that cattle can feed without getting their heads stuck, reducing the risk of injury. The tombstone-shaped barriers also help minimise feed wastage by allowing cattle to feed comfortably while preventing pushing and crowding.

The IAE Tombstone Feeder is assembled from three sections, making it easier to transport and set up. The base of the feeder is welded, ensuring strength and preventing tipping, even with larger cattle. Typical dimensions include a diameter of around 2.3m and a height of 1.15m, making it a good size for most cattle herds​.

Another benefit of this design is the welded steel base, which ensures the feeder remains stable and durable over time. The feeder’s sections can be easily bolted together, making transportation and assembly straightforward, while its galvanised coating prevents rust, offering a long-lasting solution with minimal upkeep.

This feeder is ideal for farmers looking to improve feeding efficiency while ensuring the safety and well-being of their livestock.
