I share your frustration over feeding troughs. I raise goats, with horns. It can get a little treacherous at feeding times. I found a great option for me. I got the idea from Hidden Heights Farm. Kevin built it in his barn. I built a mobile version of it and I love it. I am currently making improvements in my goat barn and will be building a permanent version in it. Yes, I did make a video of building it. My only issue is some of my goats like to put their front feet in the trough, reaching for the bucket. I hope to remedy that issue.

Very nice. Im always looking to improve my methods. I'll check it out. Thank you so much for the feedback. Have a great week.

If I used those cement mix tubs my goats would step into it and send the grain flying, especially the baby goats. I have one aggressive doe who fights everyone for food so I have to have several places to feed so everyone has an opportunity to eat. I even feed one timid goat in a stall I can close so she can eat in peace.

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I have had the same problem with goats. One thing that you may try is numerous containers. Put out a little feed in each container. I really don't have problems with the sheep getting in the feed troughs because I find them to be less aggressive than goats at the feeding stations.

Thank you for your kind comment.

You have good info, but I was waiting for your best solution for goats! I did see your response that Moutrie feeder works for (goat grain) .... would have to have one for each goat, though. I need to find what works best for goat hay--they waste half of it, and orchard grass is almost $30 a bale now!

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I have you covered. I have a video on my channel called "Round vs. Square Bales - Save Money When Feeding Sheep and Goats. This has been helpful to a lot of people feeding both. The cattle panel doesn't allow for the goats to waste a lot of hay and also keeps them from climbing on top. Hope this answers your question.

[@abdulnawaz4314]

You are best

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Many thanks.

[@annmarymercier2211]

does the Moltrie feeder work well with goats?

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Yes it does. I have used with both with no problem.

[@michaelripperger5674]

What type of sheep are those ?

[@StewartFarmApiary]

katahdin with some St Croix

[@iwantosavemoney]

Do you sell ewes sir?

[@StewartFarmApiary]

We will start selling ewes next year. I am very selective on what I allow on my pastures, therefore I grow my heard slow and correct. Next year we will have some for sale. I want 25 core ewes and then sell the offspring. (or at least that is the plan)

[@iwantosavemoney]

@@StewartFarmApiary that close to are plan but we want about 200

[@krogenx]

Sooo… Nothing that works for goats? 😆

[@StewartFarmApiary]

Twenty years with boer and nubians............They work but are just harder to maintain in my opinion. I will eventually get into some nigerian goats when the time is right. Hope the video helped you. Have a great week
