Perfect!
That reminds me of Drews face when he saw some 50$ feeders at the farm supply. He said "I could make that!"

then it will get poop in them and they won't eat.

I was thinking...what a bunch of well mannered goats! Mine...well, mine are bigger goats and they would stand inside and poop in it...if not break it already...after they pull all the hay out first.

The kids do lay in them and poop.ThreeBoysChicks said:
But, they usually eat all of the hay pretty quick and don't leave much to waste.
I sometimes will take bungee straps and wrap around a tree and they don't turn them over too bad.
I also usually put them in fairly clean area and they will nibble some off of the ground.

I actually have a couple of hanging feeders that I bought from Hoeggers Supply, but my herd has expanded quite a bit and they couldn't keep up. Heck, it seems like I'm building new housing about every weekend.
We came up with this idea to give them hay when we go to shows. Get $2 dishpans to give feed as well.
It has been a stop gap solution for the farm until I can build some covered hay feeders. I've seen a couple of good ideas on here.

LOL, I was thinking, "Seriously, WalMart has hay feeders where she lives! No fair!" I know some people have said theirs carry goat or chicken feed. Depends on where you live I guess. It annoys me to no end that where I live is considered a part of Chicagoland---I am closer to Michigan than Illinois and our town couldn't be less city.

That's a pretty good idea, but I would hang mine about 3 feet off the ground. I may try it and see if it works!
