My BDay present

Me and DH built an 8' wide hay rack/feed trough the other day. It's a modified version of the plans from Premier 1 Supplies. I've been waiting for over a year to get this done and it only took a couple hours to make. We're going to build another one but only 6'. I sure do hope this will save more hay.

Thanks Jill!

6e, tell your hubby it's really easy to make. I used a goat panel from TSC for the rack and one panel will make 2 or more feeders depending on the size. Most of the wood I used was scrap that I saved from other projects.

I don't think that he thinks it's hard, it's just that he's VERY low motivated and so I end up doing most stuff myself.

That's what I do. I noticed that every time I start a project that involves tools he always comes around and sticks his nose into what I'm doing...then he takes over
