I love trying to make things out of recycled junk around the yard. We have so much "stuff" to work with, I am sure we really never need to buy another building supply again.
Today we built a goat feeder. I used two smaller sized pallets, some plywood, some old hinges, some 2x4 scraps, a 4inch pvc pipe, and some 1x4 trim.
I pulled off every other board from the pallets, leaving enough room for the goats to get their heads through. I put a solid lid and two solid end caps on it. I built it about 18inches off the ground. I added two grain troughs on the ends (pvc pipe cut lengthwise in half)
It seems to work ok. The only thing I might try to change is to add a catch basin around the bottom. The goats spill a lot of grain and hay onto the ground. It's a waste. Otherwise, it works like a charm.
