feed sacks
Livestock meal containers
Feed sacks are large bags used to hold and transport animal feed—grain, seed, or meal for livestock.
Historically made from sturdy cotton fabric, they were often printed with colorful patterns.
During the Depression era, thrifty households repurposed the cloth for clothing, quilts, and household items: Grandma made dresses from feed sacks.
Modern feed sacks are typically plain woven plastic.
