Re: [AlpacaTalk] testing attachments
Very welcome Heather!!
I like the hay boxes too. The idea of the part that sits on top of the bale and follows the hay down as they eat, is very good for keeping the wasted hay loss down.

The hay bale feeder is very simple. I have a web page just for those. But basically, they're 1 inch or so longer and wider than a bale of hay. Our hay bales are about 4'x 18" wide x 16" high. So the hay box is ... well 4' long because that's how wide plywood is, and about 20" wide and 18" high. The legs add 2-3". We make them to be as efficient as possible with the lumber, as little waste as possible. :)We've also made some low feeders so crias can get to the hay. I'll post pics and dimensions to the web page soon.Heather

LOVE it, Heather! What a great idea! I can never find the pix people refer to on the site. I also love your hay bale boxes, what a neat idea! I've been trying to create a plan to make feeders but like yours better than anything I came up with. Neat!SUSAN OLSONAlpaca LocoRiverside, CA
