Homemade DIY Hay Feeder for Goats
Goat-tested and approved
Goat-tested and approved! My new hay feeder is officially a hit. No more wet hay, means happy goats!
Iām really excited about this new hay feeder I built! Most feeders Iāve seen are metal and have openings that are either too small (2″x4″), which can rub goatsā noses raw, or too large (4″x4″ or 6″x6″), where goats can actually get their heads stuck ā and thatās dangerous.
My design has a 3-inch opening made from red oak hardwood which is super strong ā small enough to prevent heads from getting stuck, but wide enough to keep them from rubbing their noses raw. Safe, simple, and goat-approved. š
Project Costs & Donations
I am not charging rescues to build them, they are only paying to cover the cost of materials. If youād like to help with materials costs, you can donate here.
How Your Donations Are Used
I created this page to make it easy for everyone to follow my journey and share in my passion for goats. It also provides full transparency so you can see exactly how your donations are used.
Project Details
The 6-foot metal roof ā not only to keep the hay dry, but to keep the goats dry tooā¦ because you know, if goats get wet, they might melt! LOL
Materials Used
- I will have the material list soon. Please check back or follow my page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nutsaboutgoats
Iāve already received several requests to build them! Right now, Iām focusing on making them for my local rescues. Once those are complete, Iāll be building them for other rescues that need safer feeding solutions.Ā
šŖµš Goats are my passion, and my mission is to support goat owners, farmers, and rescues in need by lending a hand wherever I can.

About Me
My passion is helping goat rescues and animal rescues in North Carolina
Through my business I was introduced to a home builder by the name of Jerry Pounds. He owns and operates an animal rescue in Benson NC called āOld Cowboy Animal Rescueā. July 2020 I decided to visit the animal rescue and donate some of my time. When I got there, I fell in love with the goats and donkeys.
From that day forward through volunteering, awareness, donations and marketing it has been my top priority to help goats and donkeys in any way I can.
My Mission
My mission has been to make a difference in the lives of people, goats, donkeys, goat rescues, animal rescues and farm animals in need by providing hands-on help and support. Whether it’s helping put up fencing, building a shelter, or providing hay, straw, or feed to animals, it gives me joy and a sense of purpose to be able to help.
- Changing lives helping rescues and farmers in need.
- Shelters fixing or re-building current shelters.
- Providing food providing hay, straw, or feed to animals.
