John got busy last weekend in the barn. Among many small jobs, he built this free-standing hay feeder. The lid on top is removable to place the bale right in. When the goats approached the feeder the first time, they became obsessed with removing the lid. They couldn't stop messing with it until they worked it off the base. When the lid was finally down, they got back to the business of eating hay. Now we keep it off to avoid injuries to the goats when it falls down. The lid is now used as a toy. The girls love to walk on it. They always knock over the feeder too. John is going to have to add boards to the bottom to keep it from tipping over.
New bulbs couldn't help this fixture. We found that we have to replace the whole thing.
John attached a hinged piece of fencing panel to this side-door to allow us to keep the door open for ventilation without allowing the goats into the feed area of the barn. Again, not beautiful, but it works.
