A dispenser for animal feed or other granular material in which the material is dispensed as a mound, includes a dispenser body with a container having an outlet for discharging material by gravity feed onto a surface, a shelf or other moveable member beneath the outlet that travels vertically relative to the container to vary the gap between the container outlet and the surface, and an actuator to permit adjustment of the moveable member. The actuator uses frictional force to retain the moveable member in a selected position, which can be adjusted by overcoming the frictional force.
