Greetings from the front range of Colorado USA (for another 6 weeks, then east Texas)! Glad you joined the group! Doesn't matter what continent you're on... a herds-"person" is the same world wide :) Make yourself at home (it appears you have! :D)

Yes, this guy is moving. Just me. Kids are grown and on their own.

I love your hay feeder! Did you make it?

We did make the hay feeder, actually two of them. They ended up costing about $150 each by the time I bought all the hardware and treated wood. The top hinges open for ease of replacing and cleaning out old hay. They're absolutely fantastic! The 'pan' sits about 8 inches or so off the ground and they're about 4 foot high and 2 foot wide. They help keep a lot of hay off the wool on the back of the neck. What little gets on there is easily cleaned off.

I wanted to buy this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Low-Waste-F...a2b5f59&pid=100005&rk=4&rkt=6&sd=122052300333

But I live in Arkansas and local pick-up or shipping made it cost prohibitive. So, we copied this design. I want to be honest and not take the credit for the great design of this feeder. The pictures are in great detail facilitating reverse engineering ease. Maybe you are close enough to take advantage of the great deal this guy is offering on this feeder.
