Redneck creep feeder. Three panels and a horse gate on its side :)

The horse gate swings open from top to bottom to let me get in there if I need to. Since the pastures are a loss, I want to give the moms a break and get these kids eating more solids. It doesn't look fancy but get the job done. I need to find an ECONOMICAL way to make one inside the barn that's not so huge. I'd love to have some of that Premier One equipment but just not gonna spend that kind of dough-ray-me.

Hope y'all are having a good day and if you're not, keep your chin up!

Your sheep are looking in good condition! And I like your creep feeder! :p But that reminds me...I need to get to Lowe's to get wood to build a lambing jug and a creep feeder. Oh and a new hay feeder since mine is falling a part since I didn't use pressure treated wood. And I need to get more wood to build onto my sheep shelter. So many things to build before lambs arrive!

Thanks Sheep. The reason they are in good condition is that I have them on IVs.......... Directly to my wallet ;). Reminds me I gotta call for another load of alfalfa :/. I had two round bales of coastal delivered yesterday. They all looked at me like "You MUST be joking!"

I felt bad about leaving the other group out so here's a few more pics.....

My young ram. Very pleased with his lambs so far

This is my wether, Rayne. He was born back in August and will be keeping my ram company once I separate them out of the flock.

I love your creep feeder and I actually have a horse type gate so will definitely be trying that! I've also used the stock panels and cut out parts of the wire with bolt cutters to make a large enough opening for lambs or sheep if in the horse pasture. And talking redneck, I've used those fence panels, 4 T-posts and a tarp for shelters :D

nice feeder Kristi..:)

I was thinking of creep feeders yesterday as we passed by a place that had some calf creepers out front...

Ive never creeped the lambs before, but I think I may try it this year..we did it when we raised horses..I liked it.

I really like your dorpers. And yeah. it sure takes alot of cash to keep animals in good shape.
I think when you sell meat animals folks don't realize what it took to get that animal ready for the dinner plate.
Thinking out of the box on the feeder. :lol:
