    Awesome video!!! This feeder is exactly what I have been wanting to make so the timing is perfect. I just had a 48x64 barn built for our goats, hay loft and my farm equipment. My husband kept saying my stuff was taking up too much space in “his” barns, so I had my own built 😆. One of my first projects I want to make is this style hay feeder. Thank you guys for another great video!!! 👍

    What size board did you use at the very top of the roof that connects the two triangular sections? I don’t believe you mentioned that. And how did you make the tiny triangle pieces that went under your 3/12 cut 2x4’s on the roof? You didn’t mention that either. Thank you!

    thank you! our hay feeder fails bc it’s basically on a “table” that they jump onto while they eat, pulling out the hay from wire with 4x4 openings. All the hay they pull onto the table gets stepped and pooped on and therefore is wasted. I did see one of your goats jump onto the tray to eat - does that happen a lot and cause wasted hay, and if so, is there a solution for that? Thank you so much!! huge $$for us!

    It'll pay for itself in no time ! If a goat can pull it out it'll waste it.
