Hay rack


For the Slovenian farm structure, see Hayrack
A hay rack is a light wooden or metal structure for feeding animals. It may be used to feed domestic livestock such as cattle, horses, and goats, or it may placed in the woods to feed deer. Feeding deer is mostly done in the winter, when the other food sources are scarce. Hay racks are filled with hay, and in addition to hay there is often also a mineral lick near the rack where the animals can obtain essential mineral nutrients.
