Needless to say there is some loss with the vertical slats .... BUT not nearly as much as with the "normal" hay feeders that overhang the sheep. (of course this is just my opinion!) So far I'm really pleased with the hay feeder that I made last year. I've already started feeding some hay ... and there's very very little on the ground and NONE in the fleeces. Good luck with your sheep & glad you like the blog!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441575291581193237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896440487841226448.post-11318527575975620322009-10-27T23:12:46.173+01:002009-10-27T23:12:46.173+01:00Hi Diane - love the site, we are just starting out...Hi Diane - love the site, we are just starting out with ouessants (having had pet jacobs before).<br />The problem with vertical slats in a hay rack is that the hay gets pulled out and drops on the ground. Then they won't eat it. I made a box to hold a full bale from a design I found somewhere (photos are on Picasa (http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/haskett1/HayRack?authkey=Gv1sRgCO6u57rA7NPHfA&feat=directlink) I hope you can see them. Not always full of hay, though, as you will see! I think the sides will be too high for our ouessants, though.corylushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124980967432404822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896440487841226448.post-78802750808363177232009-10-21T18:14:31.433+02:002009-10-21T18:14:31.433+02:00Hi Cyndy!

I guess it's because bird's nest has a different meaning for me. Oh ... by the way, I didn't come up with that name ... <br />That said VM by any other name is still VM! yuck! Not a spinner's dream!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441575291581193237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4896440487841226448.post-49529580751224601442009-10-21T15:12:34.544+02:002009-10-21T15:12:34.544+02:00I have learned something new here!
