Farmers utilize a rack to provide limited access to a bale to feeding livestock. A rack for feeding a bale to animals is provided including at least one rotating weight-activated rail containing the bale within the rack. The rotating weight-activated rail includes at least one arm projecting downward under the bale. A weight of the bale acting upon the arm projecting downward under the bale causes the rotating weight-activated rail to rotate against the bale and contain the bale while the livestock is feeding.
