feedsack

Animal food container

A feedsack is a large bag used to store and transport animal feed, typically made of burlap, cotton, or woven plastic.

During the early and mid-twentieth century, cotton feedsacks often featured colorful printed patterns, and thrifty households repurposed them into clothing, quilts, and household linens: Grandma made dresses from feedsacks during the Depression.
