STOP WASTING HAY! | DIY round bale hay feeder from reclaimed wood and cattle panel

#hiddenoakshomestead #homesteading
We're a small family farm in the Florida Panhandle. After relocating back home from the Middle East we wanted to build up the most self- sufficient lifestyle possible with our kids, in order to grow as much of our own food as possible. Through raising livestock, tending to a garden, preserving food through canning and fermenting, learning about local fauna for medicinals and wild edibles, we are hoping to encourage others to do as much as possible for themselves through re-learning some of the forgotten "old" skills.

It’s great seeing you teach your son how to properly use tools and how to build

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

It's important to teach them life skills

[@gmac38666]

I love the video, and the bloopers are so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 especially the great, great, great part 🤣🤣🤣 I love it. Could that be you all saying? Great, great, great.

Just came here to say I love how your dad looks at you like he couldn't be any prouder of you!

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

😍

[@KrisOberhauserB]

Love how the animals come to help.

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Right?

[@mdkeener75]

This is AWESOME! I see another build in my future!

Nice project with Zach, teaching him skills. God Bless your family.

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

He's got to learn

[@jeanburgin160]

Zach is learning so much, lovely boy. He is really growing, oh what a beautiful calf!!! Nice to use reclaimed wood. Zach is a great helper. He is learning some great skills. Someone has a dirty nose ... lol lol Funny he doesn't mind you using him for a work bench. Wow, this is so nice!!! You all did a great job and perfect for the little ones. What about the string on the hay? Great video!!!

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

They'll eat around the string

[@StageRightvideo]

Good video of you all working together. Another option for your hay feeder is just being able to throw a tarp over the top of it too.

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

We've got left over roofing material. We'll probably just use that

[@alamar7944]

This is the one of the best videos I see !!!

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Glad you enjoyed

[@marilynfdavis891]

Cutest calf!!! I love it!! I enjoy the bloopers too! 💜

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

😁

[@gmacook8095]

zack is such a beautiful soul,does his chores and helps out with that big beautiful smile,both the kids have great work ethics

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

He's pretty awesome

[@misguidedchild3381]

Great video...informative and well-produced!

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TiltedKHomestead]

Hey just a thought, if you could put a chain or strong rope on it and drag it around your pasture you could utilize the spent hay to help reclaim grasses in your pasture. good luck and be safe.

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Thank you!!

[@josephmixon8816]

I've been looking to get away from square bales. I'll definitely be building one of these!

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

They're soooo expensive!

[@bettycaudle4018]

Great job guys!!

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Always something to do

[@carolmiland9665]

Love the bloopers..haha. Zach...you are growing up too fast. You are a very smart young man. Good to see you all..take care and thanks for the laughs

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Glad we got to make you laugh

[@jodymerkel4940]

Awesome video you guys! The bloopers had me rolling over with laughter lol 😂😂 ❤️🇨🇦love from Canadian nana

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Glad we got a chuckle out of you

[@karionhawkins3091]

Nice job on the hay feeder

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Thanks! It'll save lots of hay and time

[@imaslowlerner]

Looks like a good idea 💡. Not only are my animals playing king of the hill, my dogs have decided to make it their bed 🛏️ and for some reason relive themselves 😩

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Yes, it's a challenge

[@dianapreston7481]

I like your hammer holder...🥰

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

Right? She really wanted to help

[@angelatrindade2545]

Great job ❤

[@Boe81]

@@HiddenOaksHomestead my family and I are too. Nice to see a homestead family we can follow

[@tammyschnedler7545]

Bloopers! 🤣

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

The best

[@Confederatemule]

I like the feeder. I am going to try to build one like it, although I think I'd like to put a roof on it. BTW...how old is Zack at the time of this video?

[@brianbroos6546]

Quick question. Did you guys put a roof on it?

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

We did not

[@JohnSmith-fi2gu]

What kind of pigs are those?

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

These are Kunekune

[@jlproductionsnashville1987]

The green netting is horrifically unsafe! ( why did you leave UT on the bale!? OMG!) •AND The bottom is very dangerous for a horses/mules legs and hooves!! And in addition: The fencing can catch up on any kind of halter, collar or even a fat head /neck of a goat, can be a disaster! We all want to find the answer but it needs to be safety for the babies in the design thought process 👍 above all!

[@HiddenOaksHomestead]

You're correct on the netting. It must ne removed for animal safety
