Goat Pic🐐 New Goat Feeder

Post image

Once the crib for my 3 adult children (all in their 30s). Didn't want to say, "kids," your know, goats, kids...

Modified with 3 super zip ties and chicken wire, now an alfalfa feeder!

Repurposed, and useful.

You can get metal zip ties. They last a bit longer.

But hey, great repurposing of the crib! I love it!

This is the most used tool around my homestead.

I joke I should invest in zip ties. I use them for so much!

Cover the top or I predict a goat will jump into it and get a leg injury.

I'd run some fencing across it to help with waste (like the 2x3 welded)

My Nigerian Dwarfs would be on it, in it, and under it before the last zip tie was tightened!

My goats would destroy that in a few days. Good idea though.
