Easiest portable creep feeder ever made

Thought id share my creep feeder. Takes 15 minutes to build and only need a sawzall. Take a free caged plastic tote cut one bar out and cut 2 holes in each side so little ones can put head in n cows cant. Dump grain in top through cover and put back on. Need it moved hook on 4-wheeler n drag it. Hasnt been tipped over yet. ImageUploadedByHomesteading Today1403388634.604299.jpg

Just find one of those people that own a farm and are given a bunch of stuff for free. That's how my sister got 6 of them for watering trees since this guy got them 6 years previously but had no use for them. My dad's and the neighbor are lucky like that - my dad has literally tons of high tensile industrial bolt proof chains and padlocks and the neighbor lets just say his first shop is 400'X75' is full to the rafters, his second shop same thing and he has quite a collection in his field as well - to the point if you need something ask him if you can borrow it and he probably has it.

Around here theres alot of them. Lot of back yard sugarers that have for sap tanks and use couple years then git new ones cause they hold bacteria in the plastic that spoils sap so they give away.
