hay rake

[davidrrisner]

does anyone have any pic or ideas on a hay rake for goats and a cow.we feed round bales but do not have a tractor . just wondering if anyone has ideas or pics of some kind of rake that may be able to be moved to the bale after we roll it into the pen.thanks randy

If you mean a "rack", as in "feeder", just put some cattle panel sections around it.
If your goats have horns, you can use gates

It would be best if you get the bale up off the ground on a pallet to keep it from wicking up moisture from the ground

A "hay rake" is used to gather up hay after cutting, and is used with a tractor:
