Livestock feeder

A livestock feeder comprising:

• (a) a cylindrical shaped pan having a bottom and sides forming a generally cylindrical outer periphery and recessed inner receptacle for holding feed;
• (b) a cylindrical shaped hood comprising a substantially cylindrical member affixed to and extending vertically from the pan;
• (c) an opening in the hood of a size sufficient to permit livestock to have access therethrough to the inner receptacle of the pan;
• and
• (d) a disc-shaped flange extending perpendicular from the cylindrical outer periphery of the sides of the pan and near the bottom of the pan, wherein a diameter of the disc-shaped flange is greater than the diameter of the cylindrical outer periphery of the pan, wherein the disc-shaped flange that extends from the cylindrical outer periphery of the sides of the pan provides a surface against which a base structure that can slidingly engage the outer periphery of the pan can abut, wherein the disc-shaped flange, by providing a surface against which a base structure can abut, can provide for the stabilization of the feeder, the disc-shaped flange is configured to rest on a ground surface when the feeder is in use as a livestock feeder, wherein the entire feeder is a single molded piece, wherein the bottom of the pan and disc-shaped flange together form a lower surface of the feeder, wherein the lower surface of the feeder forms a continuous planar surface configured to rest on a ground surface when the feeder is in use as a livestock feeder.
