Homemade Feeders, Waterer

[Saltlick]

Built a new feeder out of an old futon frame and some wood. Works fine for now. Would like to make a cover for it but with the winds we get out here I don't think it's a good idea. After I get a shed built it can go under the awning. 

Here are also a couple of photos of a slow-feeder I built. These are great because they have almost zero-waste, except there's no way to keep the goats from climbing up and pooping on the hay (especially the little guys).

And a couple of photos of a passive-solar insulated water box I built which I've used for two winters so far. The water still freezes when it's really cold, but it'll have only an inch or so of ice while the uninsulated ones have 5 inches or so. During the day the sun melts it around the edges enough that the goats push on the edges of the floating ice slab and get water. 

I am gone a lot with just a neighbor coming by to check on them so that's why the big feeders, etc... That way she doesn't have to fill them every day.
