Goat pen getting close to ready!!!

Milk stand just needs feed bucket attached, hay loft, hay feeder made from pallets and just needs a few of the bottom boards of feeder takin off to make it easier for them to munch and also accessible from each side of fence, and the fence next to gate needs a few boards to complete fence. All this done with no cost to us so far except the gate/latch/wheel.

Great job. Did you remove the inside slats on the hay feeder?

The insides (or bottoms) of the hay feeder (or pallets) weren't as covered in wood, meaning I didn't have to cause there is enough room for hay to come through. Just gotta do it on the outsides. It's nice knowing that what I did looks good in the eyes of experienced goat handlers. Thanks so much!

I like the pallet hay feeder idea. I have an endless supply of pallets from the roofing company. I think I'll start having the guys bring them home and I can play(build things) from time to time.

Thanks, I try to use anything i have laying around before going out and buying new material and MOST of the time I have the stuff to get the job done. That's the best part about my "projects". I'll keep updating as I get more work done around the goat pen
