I'm a DP addict too; only I drink diet. I know...bad stuff...but I'm too old too care now.

The thing about any of the feeders is the cleaning. I use the lambar bucket but the tubes are a pain to clean. At least with the bottles you could just get new ones.

Someone really likes Dr. Pepper.

Must be my house.

I'm a Pepper too :) but I buy the cans. Too easy to just keep adding to the glass with a big bottle ;)

Diet ... :sick fake sugar = instant migraine hell.

We have used hoop houses, they have worked great!

As far as the bottle holder, I like the idea. I almost built one but have decided I'm going to use lambar buckets. Once a kid is finished with its bottle s/he will just try and steal another kids bottle. Kinda defeating the purpose of doing individual bottles o_O
I figured it would be faster to clean the bucket and tubes instead of each bottle. I did that last year :th

I was doing farm chores for a lady down the road from us, she was using a lambar so I am a little familiar with it.

It will bee tested next month when everyone starts kidding.

We are pulling. It'll be harder, but easier, at the same time.

I like Doctor Pepper too! My mom is all for doctor pepper but being a diabetic she drinks diet. I've tried it and it tastes about the same to me.

I'm not used a lambar...how do you make measure how much each lamb gets? I like the bottles idea and if your there watching and just pop those who finish their bottle back into their pen or stall or whatever i dont think it would be much problem and i still think it would be faster then bottle feeding by hand if you have a lot of BB's.
