I have plans for Premier's Single-Sided Feeder. I have Nigerian Dwarf goats and I would like to build this feeder for my them. My question: What adaptations do I need to make for these smaller goats?

The only change would be the height of the legs. But the closer to the ground the feeder is the more likely they will crawl in .

So, what would be a good height for the legs?

Louise,
There isn't a precise answer to this question. You want to build it at your goat's chest height. They should be able to eat grain out of the trough, but not easily step into it.
