[Jacob-list] Jacob hay feeder

[Linda]

In the pasture and barn we are leasing, there was an old grate box hay 
feeder http://horsepasture.homestead.com/  around that I decided to try. 
It really works well. I'm not sure how it will work with baby lambs, but 
it works well for older lambs and adults. From the website, I don't know 
if you get even the kits anymore, but it's a rather simple design.
My next favorite hay feeder is a fence line feeder made with a hog panel 
up tight to the fence.
