Con-serve : To avoid wasteful use. To use frugally. To protect from unnecessary loss. To help you have higher profits!
We have made the most efficient hay feeder on the market even better!

OSU Animal Sciences Design
The Oklahoma State University Department of Animal and Food Sciences helped us revamp our feeders to maximize feeding efficiency.
They measured the legs, snouts, and heads of the 11 most-bred cattle breeds in America and reconfigured the feeders based on those dimensions, putting bars in the proper places for efficient feeding. They also configured the feeders to keep calves and animals from getting inside them.

“My wife and I can’t get over how little waste there is with these new feeders and how handy they are to use with our Hydrabed.”
Harold Stapelford, Fall River, KS.
Timber Hill Limousin, Mound Valley, KS.
“I used two of these feeders this spring in my calving lot and could not believe how long 2 bales lasted. The cows really clean it up and there is little or no waste.”
Romans Angus Ranch, Tony Stidham, Independence, KS.
Cattle prefer a square meal:
“We bought eight of your feeders last year but we still have a one of the ring feeders that the cattle have not tore up yet. It’s really weird, but the cattle will not eat out of the ring feeder unless the HAY CONSERVER feeder is empty!”
Robert Barnhouse, Bolivar, MO.
“I bought three of your hay feeders a little over two years ago and they FLAT DO NOT WASTE HAY. I have also looked at all the other so called hay saving feeder copy cats at the show AND THERE IS NO COMPARISON. YOUR FEEDERS ARE THE BEST!”
John Rummel, Ash Grove, MO.
Cattle REALLY DO Prefer a Square Meal!!
…We really like our insert. The Hay Conserver Feeder Saver really does save us hay – and we can prove it, since we have a Hay Conserver Feeder Saver and 2 regular round bale rings in a pasture. The cows always eat the hay out of the hay saver first, too.
Randi Miller, Miller Lowline Angus Ranch – POWERful Beef!
“I have bought a few of the GoBob Hay feeders and couldn’t be happier. I ordered my first two and set them next to the other round bale feeders I was using. And I was amazed at the amount of hay they saved. I now have 10 of the feeders in use! I can really say these can help a guy save some bucks and some hay!”
Elmer McWilliams, Asbury, MO.
Feeder Graveyard
This picture was taken near Hereford, TX on a customer’s property as we were delivering GoBob Hay Monsters (his second load).
We got to forty old feeders and quit counting. Our customer explained that over the years they have tried every kind of feeder there was, including the black poly pipe feeders. None of them held up. Well he won’t be putting anymore feeders in the graveyard.
He now has GoBob Hay Conserver Feeders.
UPDATE!
Remember that graveyard?
Here is what happens when you try GoBob’s Hay Conserver feeders – You end up with a hay feeder grave yard after you replace ALL your feeders with Hay Conservers, like this customer in West Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions
To skirt or not to skirt?
Some customers have asked me why we don’t put a skirt around the base of our feeders, one competitor (whose feeders cost twice as much) raves about how skirting helps save hay. The problem is, it simply does not. Been there, done that. We have found that the hay that eventually gets nosed out the sides are the sticks and bad hay the cattle will not eat anyway. Skirting not only adds to the price of the feeders, it causes a buildup of sticks and rancid hay that you have to muck out or move the feeder!
Do the Hay Conserver Feeders work good with calves?
They work great with calves but you need to be aware of this. The neck bar spacing on the standard Hay Conservers, Hay Monsters and Double/Triple Hay Monsters is 16 inches. We believe this is the optimum spacing for all sizes of cattle. At this spacing some calves WILL get in it UNLESS you keep it full of hay. If you are only using our feeders to feed calves 900 lbs. or less or you do not feel you can keep the feeders full of hay, you need to order our feeders with “calf spacing”. The feeders are the same price as the standard feeders, you just need to ask for them.
Warning: Keep feeder full with hay! Failure to keep full may result in animals entering feeder causing injury.
