#1 hay feeder design idea for sheep and goats! Low waste and easy to build!
DIY Hay feeder for sheep,
In this video I walk through one of the best structures we have built on our sheep farm.. It's a simple hay feeder for sheep and goats that has proven to be very efficient, Simple to build and low cost in put!
Top likes about this feeder are:
- Simple to build
- Low cost
- Efficient feeding
- Minimal feed waste
- Open air, breathable and yet covered and protected from the weather!
Top 3 Challenges:
- How to keep the bed area clean?
- How to unroll heavy bales?
- Lambs in the feed area...
Overall it has proven to be all I expected it to be and I'm happy to share and help anyone interested in something similar...
Feel free to reach out via email or in the comments with any questions or to request the pdf prints....

    I think I'd just roll that bale intact to the back of the feeder, put another round bale in, roll it back, and keep feeding it like a PEZ dispenser until it's full and let the sheep eat the tight packed bales all season. You have given me a wonderful idea, though, for a mobile feeder!

    My sympathy with your loss. I can see that your children are upset about this loss. Still- it is part of the Greater Plan for us all...

    Sorry about your loss. May I suggest that if you are serious about having a successful TH-cam channel you MUST post videos on at LEAST a somewhat regular basis. Those one, two or three Iphone videos aren't going to do it! I've watched every one of your videos on TH-cam in real time, and your family has a great chance to make this profitable for your farm. Please think through this! Good luck!

    • @pauljoseph5130
      @pauljoseph5130 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, a lot videos are needed to gain subscribers. You have to look at it in the perspective of the family. They have a farm to operate, there is a family construction/landscaping company to run, completion of odds and ends on the house need to be completed, and most importantly they have a large family to raise. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything, so tasks have to be prioritized. I think the TH-cam videos are the easiest to hold back on. I’m thankful to watch any video, regardless of the frequency. This is just my perspective, not necessarily an official response.
