Galvanized Feed Scoop

A feed scoop gets used every day, and a flimsy one is in the trash by spring. This Little Giant scoop is made of heavy-gauge galvanized steel with a riveted handle, so it stands up to grain from the bin, pelleted hay and feed day after day.

The flat end is a small detail that pays off. It lets the scoop set down neatly when you put it away, so it stays out of the way on a shelf or a hook. For the daily trips between the feed bin and the bucket, that's a scoop that works hard and goes back in its spot.

Why galvanized steel for a feed scoop

Galvanized steel has a zinc coating that protects the metal from rust. In a feed room, where grain dust, moisture and damp floors are part of the day, that coating is what keeps a scoop useful season after season.

Plastic scoops can crack in cold weather, and a cracked scoop is a nuisance in a feed room. Steel holds its shape in the cold and through the bin and the bucket. A riveted handle keeps its grip when the scoop gets knocked around. It suits a backyard flock keeper, a horse barn with a feed room, a cattle operation with a grain bin and any farm where the scoop comes out every day.

How to use it

Dip the scoop into the grain or pellets and fill it level, so each feeding gets the same amount.

Pour slowly over the feed pan or bucket to keep dust down and the feed where it belongs.

Set the scoop flat end down on a shelf, or hang it by the handle, so it stays upright and ready for the next round.

Shake it out and wipe it after each use, so feed dust and damp don't build up in the seams. Store it dry and out of the rain to keep the galvanized coating working.

Good to know

• Pair the scoop with a lidded feed bin, which keeps the feed dry and the scoop easy to reach.
• A feed pan and a clean pail make the job faster, since the scoop can go straight from the bin to the pan.
• Check the handle rivets now and then. A loose handle is the first sign the scoop needs a repair.
