Pig feeder

That looks like an awesome idea! Do you think the goats will jump on it and catapult over the fence? I am afraid that mine would, they are such stinkers.

I was thinking about the goats so I planning to put a piece of roofing across the two posts.

Not to worried about rain, most of what I feed is wet because of the buttermilk. The barrel will prevent large amounts of water accumulating.

Aha, that ought to work. What kind of goats do you have? They don't have any problems getting along?

I have 6 goats. My does are Spanish/kiko, boer/kiko and sannen. Then I have three bucklings. A 75% kiko/boer that I'm going to use to breed and the 2 kids from my spanish/kiko. She was crossed to a 7/8 kiko.

No problems with them and the pigs. When the kids were born I kept them separated for a few weeks.

Just wondering, do you have issues with the goat and pigs in the same area? I just fenced a 100' pasture area that is partially in the woods. My first thought was pigs only, as I have heard goats and pigs do not get along. I have a single shelter 8'X8', but could make another. I want both critters, and sharing a space would be ideal.

I love this! Such a wonderful idea, I know how it can be to fight off hungry critters. I think I may add this on the list of things to do for spring, this could be wonderful for my goats

Thanks for posting!
