If you're referring to that pic of a hay feeder, no didn't make. Pic of one from another farm so I could cut my 2 unused ones to make. Just cut at sides and bend in..then reconnect. I'd add some pieces of goat fence onto inside of "v" to keep hay in better....and goat kids out!

WOW! Great feeder! If I find any used totes (or even frames), I will snatch them up for feeders.

Not only the jokesters on Capitol Hill, but the young idiots who take over the city due to a fake Game playing machines giveaway, then proceed to create madness, terror, vandalism, and extra expense for an already burdening police department budget. INFURIATES this old lady.

Is the heat still hitting you? No rain yet? Hoping for a cool down soon so you can fence the other pasture. Once we are in Texas permanently, we can come give you a hand. DS1 can stay home and watch the sheep.

Monday morning I took down the 60’ round pen. Fifteen 10’ panels and a walk through gate, I popped pins out and dragged panels to a H brace and propped them up against it. Then I mowed the bitterweed growing inside the pen.
Then son and I punched a few holes with tractor auger, in a few places.
He put the hay spear on my little tractor and I can now set round bales.
Then it was time for him to go. I was heat exhausted and did nothing the rest of the day. Went to town yesterday morning and did not much yesterday evening.
This morning my chore is unloading the treated 8’ long by 7” top fence posts. First make a place to put them. I carried concrete blocks from the stack about 30 feet to where I want to put the posts. I drove in 2 T-posts as a stop.
Then I dragged the pieces to the bolt on bucket forks to the tractor. I semi assembled them, soaked bolts in P B Blaster and took a break.
With lots of PB Blaster, a big crescent wrench and a large eye bolt, I was able to tighten down the bolts. That took awhile and lots of sweat.
I did it!
Taking another cool down break with ice water. Then I’ll go saw on the bundle straps with my dull pocket knife and load a couple of posts on the forks and put them on the concrete blocks. According to the post company web site, they weigh 145 pound each, 10 pounds more than I weigh. This ought to be interesting.
Heat is already ferocious. May not do much, other than see if I can.

I loaded 3 posts on the forks twice. I’d hit a bump and the back wheels popped up, so decided to only carry 2 posts at a time. LOL
I got 14 posts moved, 9 more to go. At 12 moon, I stopped. Not going to give myself a heat stroke trying to finish. Moved Anatolians and fixed myself a grill cheese sandwich. I’ll eat then take a nap. LOL
It may not look momentous, but at least I got a little something done today.
