We separated our goats from our sheep, since the goats are … goats and keep beating up the sheep. Our goat ram had prevented our sheep ram to inseminate all of his ladies last winter and the 2 ladies he did inseminate unfortunately lost there lams.
For the new goat stable we “stole” the hay rack from the sheep stable and needed to build a new one. We where not happy with the hay rack at the wall inside of the sheep stable, anyway.
My husband and son build this standing alone and easy to fill hay rack.
At the moment we are filling the hay rack with hay we put in baskets first, since we are working from a round bale, but the hay rack is meant to be filled with a small square bale, which makes it quick and easy to fill.
There is a table underneath the hay which catches the hay falling out when the sheep are eating, instead of falling to the ground where it will be stepped on.
The hay rack stands stable and is accessible from two sides, so the sheep can all easily eat at the same time.
We love it and the sheep seem happy two.
