A bale feeder apparatus, system and method is described. A bale feeder for feeding a herd of livestock includes at least three ring-shaped horizontal rails including a top rail, a bottom rail and a middle rail, the middle rail spaced above the bottom rail at a middle rail height measured from a ground, and a plurality of neck rails extending upwards and inwards from the middle rail to the top rail, each neck rail spaced apart from an adjacent neck rail on same side of the bale feeder at a neck rail distance, the middle rail height about equal to a length of a longest foreleg expected in the herd of livestock, and the neck rail distance falling within a range bounded by a widest head expected in the herd of livestock, and a narrowest adult shoulder width expected of any adult animal in the herd of livestock.

A frozen pet container employs a frozen pet treat cup including a side wall adjoined to a floor defining a hemispherical cavity configured to conditionally form a frozen pet treat within the frozen pet treat cup. The frozen pet container further employs a frozen pet treat retainer disposed within the hemispherical cavity and adjoined to the side wall and/or the floor. The frozen pet treat retainer is configured to interactively retain the frozen pet treat conditionally formed within the frozen pet treat cup. To this end, the frozen pet treat retainer may include bracket(s) partially encircling the side wall and/or spike(s) extending from the side wall or the floor.

A feeder stand including a rotary ground auger and base holds a feeder above the ground. An upright elongated rod defines a stand supported by an auger having helical coils removably screwed into the ground. A platform such as a round disc, or wire mesh platform is supported on the top distal end of the rod. At least two opposing legs extend perpendicular to the vertical elongated rod and auger forming a base. The distal end of selected opposing legs are bent or angled upward perpendicular from the ground forming handles for rotating the auger into the ground. The portion of the legs extending outward normal to the elongated support pole provides a base bearing against the ground for increased lateral support.

An elevator support (10) for holding a block (16) of an animal consumable substance includes a body (22). The body includes a central hub (24) and a plurality of radially outward extending arms (26). A ground face side (32) of the body includes a recess (36) or a projection (112) for engaging the body with a top of a vertically extending post (40, 120). The body is positioned above ground level (12) at a height that is appropriate for the animals that are to consume the substance. The body includes a plurality of spaced apertures (46). A plurality of pins (56) are selectively locatable in the apertures for purposes of holding various sizes and configurations of blocks of animal consumable material in intermediate relation of the pins and in supported relation on the body.
