Homemade Goat Feeders
 |
“They’re easy to fill, there’s less waste, and they’re easy to make,” says the Long Prairie, Minn., dairy goat farmer.
He has plenty of barrels from various fluids that he uses on the farm. After he flushes them clean, he cuts 2-in. holes with a round hole saw along the sides. He uses a reciprocating saw to cut the top big enough to fill with alfalfa.
“You need to support the top hole. I screw through the top into a 2 by 4,” Olson explains. He uses another piece of 1 by 2 or 2 by 4 on the inside of the back to secure it to the side of a pen.
“It must be high enough so they don’t jump in it,” Olson says.
