Diy Hay Feeder

A DIY hay feeder is a simple, homemade structure that allows livestock to eat hay at a slower pace. This can help to reduce hay waste and improve digestion. There are many different ways to make a DIY hay feeder, but some common methods include:

• Using a stock tank: Cut the top and bottom off of a stock tank to create a tray. Then, attach a lid to the top of the tray using hinges. To use the feeder, simply place a bale of hay inside and close the lid. The livestock will be able to reach the hay through the opening in the lid, but they will not be able to waste as much hay as they would if they were eating from a traditional hay rack.
• Using a pallet: Stack two pallets on top of each other and secure them together with screws or nails. Then, attach a piece of plywood to the top of the pallets to create a roof. To use the feeder, simply place a bale of hay inside and allow the livestock to eat from the opening at the bottom of the feeder.
• Using a shipping crate: Remove the top and one of the end panels from a shipping crate. Then, place the crate on its side and attach a piece of plywood to the top of the crate to create a roof. To use the feeder, simply place a bale of hay inside and allow the livestock to eat from the opening at the bottom of the feeder.

No matter which method you choose, a DIY hay feeder is a great way to save money on hay and improve the health of your livestock.
