I have been using cinchnets (http://www.cinchchix.com/)<br />but they are hard to fill in the cold of winter and get lost in the mud sometimes too, so I'm trying to figure out something more straightforward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773294397639465084.post-85677537504579213132013-11-22T21:48:01.335-05:002013-11-22T21:48:01.335-05:00Well I started out with a slightly different desig...Well I started out with a slightly different design using lattice. http://canihaveapony.blogspot.com/2013/05/slow-hay-feeder.html<br /><br />That kept breaking so I ended up adding more eyelets and chains to work with the flexible nibblenet sheet http://www.thinaircanvas.com/nibblenet/pages/nibblenet-sheet-frame.htm I think it would work better if the edges weren't flexible, thinking of looking into PVC piping to make that work a little better. It's a work in process. <br /><br />I love the nibblenets, have a XL bag and now the bin so Dani always has hay available to her all day long!Christie Maszkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237968480153424007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773294397639465084.post-21893630371164482952013-11-22T21:24:09.754-05:002013-11-22T21:24:09.754-05:00How did you make the feeder in that picture?

That is exactly what I want to do! <br />I also seem to have a couple bales every load that have some mold, seems to be part of the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773294397639465084.post-10963597014093378022013-11-22T19:30:40.294-05:002013-11-22T19:30:40.294-05:00I almost always have at least four bales with each...I almost always have at least four bales with each block that are moldy, whether it be caused by the hay farmer or my storage faults. I've never returned or exchanged any, because it's such a hassle, but I do give the hay farmer feedback on the quality of the hay the next time we do business. Then I become the squeaky wheel and he knows better than to slip me a few cruddy bales on purpose. I suspect when their bales go bad, farmers work a few of them into large orders just to get rid of them and still get paid. I'm due for a couple of blocks to keep us tied over until summer, and of course, I'm going to run out over the holiday. But I can't just move the bales and clean out the pallets right now because it's been raining like crazy and there is mud everywhere.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.com
