I raise the occasional litter of Mastiffs...this works wonderfully for feeding the messy puppies! Quality construction, durable and easy to clean, I love this feeder! I have recommended it to many others.

I bought this a few years ago, and was somewhat disappointed. It works as long as you have only a few animals eating out of it, and they are not fighting over it or banging on the feeder. I really liked this feeder the first year. I had two of the gentlest lambs I've ever seen, and it worked great. However, once I tried to use it again the next year, for four normal lambs, one of the hooks (Not sure what to call them?) broke really quickly. I put it away, and didn't get it back out till this year. Because I increased my flock faster than my supplies, I ran out of other feed pans, and had to use it again. I replaced the missing hook with wire, and tried it. I was feeding four slightly smaller lambs this time. The remaining two hooks promptly broke. I still used it by wiring it on to the fence, but it was very disappointing. I expected it to last a bit longer. I have barely used it. In summary, this feeder will work great for you if you only plan to use it for a very few, gentle animals. If you plan to feed very many, or if they are not very gentle with their feed pans, I would recommend you buy something sturdier.
