Lick Feeders - BUILT TO LAST
Medium - 3000 Litres |
Large - 4200 Litres |
The unique features of our feeders make them the only choice for your grain feeding needs.
The saliva lick feeding system of Highfield feeders requires livestock to utilize saliva to draw feed out from between two plates which we call adjusters.
The upper adjuster controls the depth of the grain, whilst the lower adjuster controls the width of the grain available for consumption.
As the livestock's tongue goes into the groove, the feed that sticks to the tongue is the ration that they can consume. The saliva decreases with progressive lick until the animal is unable to obtain more feed.
Livestock will leave the feeder once they are able to obtain more feed, enabling other animals to have their turn.
The age and breed of livetsock are both factors which effect the calibration of the feeder.

“After being around stock my whole life, i’ve seen & heard a lot of stories from cartage contractors and vets about the importance of having good, user friendly and most importantly, safe yards to work with. So when we purchased our new property & it came with an old set of wonky timber yards we quickly replaced it with a set of Highfield yards. My wife and I love the Beef Buddy design & if I’m busy elsewhere she can deal with stock on her own safely with no problem.”
T & A Wells, Sisters Creek, TAS
“ The yards offer excellent value for money, the most helpful thing was the assistance of those at Highfield from designing, manufacturing, delivering & installation, these are the actions that go to make a brilliant outcome .”
Farmer, New Norfolk, TAS
“ The calf sheds are going great!! They definitely make things a lot easier and are so flexible! It takes no time at all to re arrange our pens if needed.”
L Whiting, Forset, TAS
“ Our Highfield sheep yards couldn't have come sooner . I was very impressed that the yards were so easily erected, less than three hours and the job was complete. I would estimate that we could handle about 800 sheep at a time.
Sheep Farmer, Southern Tasmania
