Not to steal thunder from Premier 1's big bale feeder found here:
http://www.premier1supplies.com/sheep-guide/2012/10/installing-premier-big-bale-feeders/
But with some time and tools, a close approximation can be made with feed store cattle panels (which Premier 1 says are inferior to theirs... I've never seen theirs, but I figure that the freight charges would be cost prohibitive).
I figured for a six-foot- diameter bale, three-foot panels (which ended up cut at 40 inches). I think for five-foot bales the panels could have been in two-foot or 30-inch segments.
I'll make another one for the goats. Still needing to be added to the sheep feeder is a roof to shed rain.

Nice to meet you today. I looked you up on NASSA and it came up with your blog. I will be following.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask. Was this the facebook group you were talking about https://www.facebook.com/groups/1450287718541519/ I couldn't find one titled Heritage Sheep Breeders. I thought that was what you said.
ReplyDeleteHi, just now got your message... I need to check my blog email notifications. I see that you found the Heritage Shetland sheep fb page.
