⚠️ LOCAL PICKUP ONLY — Available at Purity Feed in Kamloops & Merritt, BC. Contact us for pricing and availability.

Feed waste adds up fast on a livestock operation — every pound of grain or supplement that ends up on the ground is money lost. The Behlen Country Stockman Elite 10-Foot Bunk Feeder is built to stop that. The deep 10-inch rounded trough keeps feed centered and contained, so animals eat what you put in front of them instead of pushing it onto the ground. Ten feet of feeding length accommodates multiple animals at once, reducing competition and making feeding time more efficient. Heavy-duty steel with extra horizontal bracing, smooth rounded corners for animal safety, and Behlen Country’s signature red powder-coat finish that holds up to Canadian weather season after season.

Ideal For

Cattle, horse, and mixed livestock operations looking to reduce grain and supplement waste, farms feeding multiple animals simultaneously from a single feeder, producers upgrading from a basic trough to a heavy-duty bunk feeder with a deeper trough and reinforced frame, and ranchers who want a long-lasting feeder that holds up to Canadian weather without rusting out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bunk feeder?
A bunk feeder is a long, trough-style livestock feeder designed to hold grain, supplement, silage, or hay at a height and depth that allows multiple animals to feed simultaneously along its length. Unlike round bale feeders that hold a single bale in the center, bunk feeders are linear — animals line up along the side and eat from the trough. Bunk feeders are the standard choice for grain and supplement feeding in cattle and horse operations because they reduce waste, allow controlled feeding, and accommodate multiple animals at once.

What is the Stockman Elite and how is it different from a standard bunk feeder?
The Stockman Elite is Behlen Country’s premium bunk feeder line, built with extra horizontal bracing for superior structural integrity compared to standard bunk feeders. The deeper 10-inch rounded trough keeps feed more centered and reduces spillage compared to shallower designs. The red powder-coat finish provides better weather protection than painted steel. For moderate to large livestock operations that need a feeder that holds up to daily use and Canadian weather, the Stockman Elite is the step up from a basic economy bunk feeder.

What can I feed in a bunk feeder?
Bunk feeders are versatile and can be used for grain (barley, oats, corn), pelleted supplements and minerals, silage and haylage, chopped hay, and total mixed rations (TMR). They are not designed to hold round bales — for round bale feeding, see the Behlen Eco Smart, Hayguard, or OTB8 round bale feeders available at Purity Feed.

How many animals can feed from a 10-foot bunk feeder?
As a general rule, allow 18–24 inches of bunk space per mature cow or horse for grain feeding, and 12–18 inches for supplement or free-choice feeding. A 10-foot (120-inch) bunk feeder can comfortably accommodate 5–8 mature cattle or horses for grain feeding, or up to 8–10 animals for supplement or free-choice access. Contact Purity Feed for help sizing your feeding setup for your herd.

Why does trough depth matter in a bunk feeder?
A deeper trough keeps feed centered and prevents animals from pushing feed over the edge and onto the ground. Shallow troughs allow animals to nose feed out of the feeder, leading to significant waste — especially with fine or pelleted feeds. The Stockman Elite’s 10-inch rounded trough is deep enough to keep feed contained even when animals are eating aggressively, reducing waste and saving money on every feeding.

Is this feeder suitable for horses as well as cattle?
Yes — the Stockman Elite’s smooth rounded corners and animal-safe design make it suitable for horses as well as cattle, sheep, and other livestock. The 10-inch trough depth is appropriate for grain and supplement feeding for horses. For round bale hay feeding for horses, the Behlen OTB8 tombstone-style feeder is the recommended horse-safe option available at Purity Feed.

How does powder coating compare to painted steel for outdoor farm equipment?
Powder coating is applied as a dry powder and cured under heat, creating a thicker, more uniform coating than liquid paint. It is more resistant to chipping, scratching, and UV fading than standard paint, and provides better corrosion resistance when the coating is intact. For outdoor farm equipment exposed to rain, snow, manure, and UV, powder coating is the preferred finish over painted steel for long-term durability.
