![]() I’m going to take these pictures that I’ve found and try to come up with a design that I like best and something easy that we can build ourselves. There were so many great ones that I just had to share them all with you. So to get the idea started I took to Pinterest and searched for hay feeder ideas. ![]() I have yet to come up with a solid design but my fireman has already said he would price up material if I can draw something similar to what I have in mind and if it is cheaper then he can make it. Since I’m a cheapo, right away my brain went to work thinking of how I could DIY this and keep costs down. Yikes! I definitely see how in the long run it saves you money because of no hay waste but still that’s a lot of money to spend on a hay feeder. Pretty cool huh?! This nice round bale hay feeder will set you back $2995 plus shipping. The design is really great and features a roof to keep the hay covered, it sits up off the ground and has a bottom so the hay can’t fall through to the ground, the sides panels are wide so a horse’s head can’t get stuck in it and there are no sharp edges so no worries of the horses getting scratches or injuries. The hay feeder I like the best is the one advertised on Craig Cameron’s show called the HaySaver. The thing that always stopped me was the need for it going away as the grass started to grow and round bales weren’t needed anymore and then of course the cost of the manufactured hay feeders. Each year, I say I’m going to get a hay feeder and as usual winter gets here and I never did. Just recently I put out my first round bale of the winter season and have watched my horses eat away at it until all that is left is a big mess of wasted hay on the ground. For most of us, or maybe just some of us depending on your stable situation, colder weather means less grass and time to put out large round bales.
