Hi all, just recently someone had pics on with their feeders showing, but I failed to make note of where they were and now can't find them, I liked the look of them and thought I might try making a few. Looked like 2x4's with a trough, could you all post some pics and plans if you have em? Thanks.

I should mention, I like the wooden ones a lot better than the PVC pipe, They are too light weight and the feed can come out of them too easily. They work okay for a couple smaller goats.

Here is my hay/grain feeder I built. It cost me $30 for lumber and I built it during shop class with my friend. It's designed for sheep, but it can also probably be used for goats, too. I haven't used it yet because we have plenty of hay/grain feeders at the barn, but when my sheep move to my house, this is what they'll be eating out of.
