[Jacob-list] Feeders

[kbarrett at oregontrail.net]

I would think this could be a disaster in the making.  I hung a horse hay bag 
in a sheep pen once, and cam back to find the ewe hooked by her horns and 
flopping about, luckily no broken neck, but it looked as though it could have 
happened had she been left much longer.  Plus, hay is continally falling out of 
the netting, and would be wasted or land in the fleeces. I am hoping the 
perfect solution will come of this...I am so tired of wasted dirty hay!
