Hay mangers are done!

[goats&moregoats]

Love the hay feeders. Always looking for ways to improve my little hobby farm. Thank you for sharing.

Well.....Need to redo the hay mangers....
They don't like eating out of it with narrow spacing, but the big girl can get stuck....what to do....
They will eat out of slow feed hay nets for horses....
Maybe I just need to hang a ton of those....
But then I worry about trapped legs from jumping and being idiots...ughhh!

is she stuck or does she just have her head stuck thru the wire? i use the panels for hay and have for years. works like charm. the only ones that get stuck are goats with horns and since i dehorn everyone it is no biggie. even my sheep eat out of it and never had one stuck. just keep on tweeking it till it works for you.

She's "stuck" but not trapped. Since she is too strong and on the tall side, I wasn't able to just push her head down and then back her out.

Moved it outside, looks like TT learned not to shove her head in there. Though, she is now giving me funny faces. =p

I use the little 4x4 square panels so no heads get stuck. What I hated with the big squares was that I would get a doe and a kid in the same hole and then the kid would start screaming. Always worried that they were going to get strangled. The 4x4 squares work good, but it does rub a hairless spot on the bridge of their nose.

@secuono - I'm lovin' that face she's making. If I'm not mistaken, she's sticking her tongue out. I wonder if that means kinda the same thing in "sheep talk".
