In the background is one of our outside hay feeders, this feeder may not be one of a kind but is the first I have saw . It came to me this fall that I didnt want the extra hay waste in the barn were it is not very accessible to the tractor and loader , so I wanted one similar to my trusty wood model . The wood model is very rugged but I had alot of time in the construction.The out door type hay feeder needed to be semi -permanent. this hay feeder consisted of an 16 foot goat panel, that was purchased at our local feed mill and 4 six foot steel T post s driven in to the ground at the desired angle,the hardest part was cutting the end wire mesh into the right type V to cover both ends. after hay feeding season is over I can un-wire all panels, and store or leave it there. Now all the hay mess is outside and me and tractor can now clean up the hay waste and use it for compost. ALL PANELS ARE SECURED BY TIE WIRE . I failed to mention one important aspect the panel has to be cut in half with bolt cutters .
