Tips
If your panels are not fitting…
If the feeder panels appear too long to fit correctly into your feeder, it may be that your feeder is not square or slightly less than eight feet long.To fix this problem you can overlap the panels in the center as shown in the photo.

I love this feeder! It was easy to assemble and works perfectly. This is the third feeder we have added. Every time I increase the size of my flock I add another feeder. No other option works as well for us. I raise Shetland and Babydoll Southdown sheep for fiber and these feeders have increased the quality of my fleece tremendously. Very little waste and helps keep the VM out of the fleece.

Fast friendly service and super fast shipping. Excellent product quality. Sturdy, built to hold up. Their plans/instructions for this feeder were easy to follow and accurate. I'll be coming back to Premier 1 as the first choice for my other farm needs.

Fast shipping. Very, very sturdy - better than pictured. Feeders were easy to assemble, and are working well with minimal waste.A great time saver. I've had goats for over 30 years, and find this to be the BEST feeder yet. I'm constantly impressed with Premier 1 Supplies. Honestly, thank you.

The plans were so thorough and complete. I've never built anything before (just learned how to use a circular saw) but it was done in a few hours. BTW, if you have a Black and Decker Workmate, it is the perfect height to support the feeder when attaching the plywood floor. I did it with no assistance. I'm sure the feeder will work great with adult goats, but caution -- kids will jump right up into the feeder.

Panels shipped fast. Used the plans to make a one sided goat hay rack and I love it. It is in the stall up against a wall on the open side and the end faces the aisle way. I added a 2x4 sheet of plywood to the end, but it is still easy to clean up. No hay wasted so far at all. A "real" multi generational farmer saw it when he came to deliver hay and was really impressed. Was super easy to build, directions are great.
