Hay Rack
The hay rack is based on a combination of designs from a magazine and on line information.
Something this size, approximately 4'x2'x4' would cost about $200 in galvanized metal.
This one ran about $ 25 in lumber plus time and effort. I hate to put it outside. For now we are testing it in the barn to see how the height and design is working.
This makes night time feeding less competitive and more relaxed and social. Its not such a race.
Twee has found the place to get the hay the easiest for her. Unfortunately she throws half of it on the ground. We will have to add a couple bars on the sides. The girls come over for some corn treats.
The blog is really notes to my friends, old and new, to let you know what's going on in our lives. Its also a diary of sorts for myself. It started at the farm in Ligonier, PA, hence the name, but now life and work has moved us back to Connecticut,
I've always taken lots of photos and sent postcards from everywhere we travel, just to keep in touch. Email took over and then the digital camera.
Instead of me plugging up your email, you can check in when you have the time.
And yes, another town with the same problems as any other!!!
Please enjoy and let me hear from you...really~

I know a lot of people know English much better than we know any other language, but for those that want some help, me included, I'm trying this translator. Please leave a message to let us know where you are viewing from. Ciao!
