Chillin' with the herd
I know there are many feeders and methods of feeding hay to sheep, but I need some suggestions based on your experiences. I am in northern Vermont, on an open exposed hillside at a higher elevation. We typically get a lot of snow along with frequent wet, nasty, and very windy weather at my location. I only have a few sheep, and will be feeding them regular sized 40-50 lb. bales. I am considering constructing the single-sided "Build Your Own Feeder" from Premier1. Have any of you used those? Should I feed them hay outside or inside their little barn? What other hay feeding methods or feeders works (or hasn't worked!) well for you?
I have found this forum to be very friendly and helpful, and am looking forward to hearing your suggestions for cold weather feeding!
