How do you store your bagged feeds/grain?

[Egg_Newton]

I use plastic totes I got from wal-mart with the blocking handles. Keeps raccoons and goats out. But my mini Nubian has tried to open the handles. I bet if I left her alone with a tote full of grain long enough she would figure out how to to get it open.

Thank you all so much for the great ideas! I love the freezer idea...but trash cans or barrels would work too. I think I'll have to keep an eye out on craigslist and see what I can come up with!

What ever material you use remember rats like animal feed too and will try to chew thru anything so you might lean toward a 30 gallon metal drum with a locking ring (the lock ring is for the curious goat noses)

we use metal drums with lids, no mice, and it doesn't get wet, it is kept in an area away from the goats. really makes it convient for us

I use these 50 gallon containers. They have wheels on the bottom and a nice rubber seal around the lid. Works great!

I am assuming you mean 50lbs, not 50 gallons. Since 50 gallons would be like 300 lbs of feed.

We use large metal garbage cans to prevent rodents from getting into the feed.
