ABSTRACT A resiliently flexible hay feeder for livestock. The feeder is made from a flexible plastic material such as polyethylene so that the complete feeder responds to stresses with flexibility rather than rigidity. The feeder initially deforms but resiliently resumes its original shape when stressful forces are removed. The bale feeder also includes a plurality of bale centering springs attached around the peripheral edge of the feeder in order to maintain the hay a fixed distance away from the peripheral edge of the feeder and thus reduce waste by allowing hay that falls from an animal's mouth to return into the feeder to be eaten later, instead of being trampled and wasted. The feeder is made up of component parts which are assembled after shipment. This enables the feeder to not only be shipped at a reduced cost via parcel post but also permits a broken feeder to be easily repaired by simply replacing the broken piece with a new piece.
