JFC FT Ground Feed Troughs: Durable, Safe, and Low-Level Feeding
The Ideal Alternative to Traditional Feeders for Sheep, Calves, and Goats.
The JFC Ground Feed Trough is an essential, hard-wearing feeder designed to support the natural feeding position of smaller livestock while significantly cutting down on feed waste. Engineered from robust, impact-resistant polyethylene, the FT range offers a safe, hygienic, and long-lasting alternative to heavy, rusting metal or rotting wooden feeders.
