Like that apprentice welder you got there. Never to young to learn. Anything is better than on the ground. Take care and God Bless.

It was a good easy project Plus it was nice having a friend and his son come help well too made it to ride and have to stay standing so long. He's also fun to get a chance for my boy to try welding. Hope all is well there we'll see you next time

Good job man, I done same thing last year.

Thanks, we will like the ease of adding bales and not having to wrap each bale in a cattle panel and stand it upright.

Always improving!

Been Jonesn' for your next video! Farmers are amazing people. They don't have to be experts at everything, just knowledgeable and half way proficient at everything they do. One suggestion, if you have the little humans working with the power tools (angle grinders), have them wear ear pro. Not being a troll here, just from experience. I'm 70 and did so much shooting when I was younger, I now suffer from Tinnitus. So much so that I have to sleep with a sound machine going in the background. It's either that, or I wear a tin foil hat...LOL

Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I guess you could classify most Farmers is the jack of all trades and master of none 🤷‍♂️ you are right I do need to be better about making my son wear protective clothing but I'm so bad about it myself it makes it harder. I absolutely agree that I need to work on that. Hopefully it doesn't come down to the tin foil hat though 😂

Looks like a good project. The only question that I have is, you stated that only you would walk on the bottom portion so you just tacked on the ends. You do understand that you have young people that will be growing up and have minds of their own? 😂 Also, you have the weight of the bales that I think might bend that bottom portion. I don't know how much a 5 foot bale weighs but I think putting that much weight on a 3 foot area might get a little hairy.

Yes that is very accurate about young people having minds of their own 😂 they will learn very quickly if they get their foot pinched not to walk on it. However what we were more talking about was the animals themselves will never be able to access that because there's always going to be bales in the way. Secondly we're not worried about the weight at all across it we were just simply worried about an animal getting trapped in it, their leg falling through the squares that kind of thing. As you can see at the end those bales we put in held perfectly and have been in there for over a couple weeks now with no issue. A 5x5 round baleweighs approximately a thousand pounds depending on the pressure of the baler that made the bale and the moisture content of the material baled. Overall it just turned out to work exactly the way we hoped😁

If you used sheet steel instead of hog panels, you would catch ALL of the hay! :-D LoL Here is your question for the day, How do chickens lay Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs?

I could use that idea a couple weeks ago...🤣 We want the lambs to be able to reach through the bottom to eat as they won't be able to reach from the sides as well when they're real young. But I really do like the idea as it would catch all of the loose hay

@@FreedomFarmsMo I know you are smarter than me, I don't know the answer, thought you might! :-)

I am concerned that ewes or lambs will climb in the ends as the bale is eaten, contaminate the hay, and get their legs down through the hog panel. Not that wool quality is something to strive for any more with the depressed prices but cradle feeders like that result in a lot of chaff in the wool. They also require hydraulics to put bales into them. Not my choice of feeder.

If you watch the whole video I actually discuss there will be end caps that are put on. You will also see how we put the bales in which you are correct using a skid steer or hydraulics. Sorry it won't work for you but you could actually use this for square bales as well just make it smaller.
