Goat Chute & Hay Feeder!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Bought a new hay feeder and a used chute for the goats. The new chute will make working the goats a lot easier and the hay feeder will cut down from a lot of waste. The goats always like to climb up on the hay bales and pee and poo on it, after that they don't like to eat it.

Good afternoon everyone. That certainly looked like a bargain, it looks nice cleaned up. The hay feeder will be a blessing for you too 😊💞
Good to see you homestead growing. Always good to see you get something to make your life easier and safer too.
Thank you for sharing and God bless.
Hope your short visit to Kansas was good? Looks like 2 great additions to your operation . Like they saying goes work smarter mot harder. Thank you for inviting us in.
Thank you for watching
I truly see nothinwrong with your chute at all or the feeder what a nice useful tool. Happy for u and Rachel the tools make it so much easier.
The hey rack will really be nice to have this winter .. great design.. the chute will be a big help..
Thank you
Yum, dinner looks great!! Love that hay feeder! Nice job guys!
Thank you!!!
Super nice chute what a find. As your herd gets bigger you definitely will need that chute. 👍🐐
Smoked baloney???
I forgot how relaxing it is to watch someone else work! 😂😂😂
Good job!
Lol
Nice find... it cleaned up nice..
Have a wonderful evening 🌻🌻🌻
We set our feeders on treated 4x4’s and it has really helped save the skids. Nice chute👍🏼
Kevin, seems like the goat chute can be used as a hayfeeder also. Multipurpose and the goats will be familiar with it also. If there some type of roof or tarp over the top it would keep the hay dry.
Kevin & Rachael, if you have an opportunity, you might want to run the goats through the shute and just give them a treat then let them go. It may help them to become acclimated and nor so fearful. Just a thought 💭 Lots of love, Dic
Good idea
i would have loved to see the barn...... i love old stuff like that and i love watching restoring old things like that too........ great video as always, have a great day hugsssss from Ontario Canada
Wow you done a great job in getting you the shoot and hay feeder,that will help you out alot,they look new
Good simple living and homesteading sent me and i subscribed
Thank you for coming and watching!
That feeder is great and that shoot cleaned up great 💪
Thank you
Im just saying i could help by trading welding work for homestead start up animals or just some one on one time so i can pick your brains. My wife and i are buying a homestead in southwest missouri and i would love to help you out if i can. Love both your channels. You've made me want to start one as soon as we begin the moving process and get started on infrastructure for spring. Thanks guys for all the great videos and wonderful knowledge! Would love to bring out some home made hard apple cider and hang and pick your brains. Lol
They both turned out good and you can't beat cheap but good quality.
Nice find and nice job.
Be safe, be good, God bless
I would suggest, that before and after you use the chute to work the goats, that you feed them grain in the pen every so often. It would get them use to being herded in without associat ing it with being worked. Makes it a lot easier on us slower and less nimble humans :-) .
Maybe, depending on your setup, have them go through the chute, before the grain/ treat?
Yes great idea
Kevin, Sugestion: On the hay feeder cradle why not bolt some pressure treated lumber, say 2x4 or a 4x4 post on the bottom skid rails. Would only elevate it 2-4" and protect the steel from moisture and 'poop', and you can still skid it. By guestimation, maybe a 10' post cut in half would do it? Just moving it around you'll wear paint off the metal skids exposing bare metal leaving it open to rust..
Are you going to cover the top?
Yes that's a great idea
Yeah, congrats on making your life easier to herd. Did you think about putting the goat feeder on a couple of old boards or cement blocks/stepping stones, so it does have direct contact with ground to rust as fast.
Yes we may put it on a few 4x4s
Hi Kevin,, its a tip,, if you put a few nail holes on top rim of can..pain goes back in can,, but looks great..and as always love from Ontario Canada
Should be paint
Looks like a good chute set up
Should work well
I did not know that a goat shute was around. Thanks.
Nice find
That’s a nice chute good quality
Man they sure are nice when you need them. Good find!!
Hay feeder is nice too
I know on mine I’m thinking about adding a goat panel in the bottom so they don’t get their head stuck when the bale collapse from them eating a whole in the hay.
Yes I'm thinking about putting a 4x4 square panel on the bottom.
@@HiddenHeightsFarm It would also help to keep them from wasting way if you put it on the slopping sides as well. They won't be able to pull as much out onto the ground.
The chute is great!
Thank you
Wow, great vlog. When you use the chute, vlog it. It would be interesting to watch. I think the round bale holder is a great purchase, and should last many years. BTW, today is day one in the incubator. Next week, I should be able to vlog as well. Yes, you can mention my name. As always, I love watching how you grow your homestead. Blessings to all.
We will try
Awesome video Kevin...
Thank you

🐨🦘🐨🦘🐨
Yes for sure
You have a very beautiful Homestead
Thank you
Great find! The chute cleaned up nicely. The color of the hay feeder almost matches the new chute
Yes almost
g'day buddy
Great find. 🤗
Merry Christmas Goats!
Jo Jo in VT 💕😊
maybe put the hale baler on wooden or cement blocks so the metal doesnt touch the ground and will last even longer blocks are cheaper to replace than the hay baler
Get yourseft some fencewire and put it around the inside it will keep them out and they can still canget to thr hay.
It looks really nice
Great job. Merry Christmas goats . lol
You have raised the bar for everybody else! Rat finds for sure. Going to be very handy!
Looks like a new chute!!!!! What a great deal!!!
Work smarter not harder!!
Smoked bologna is awesome!! Crazy to think it would taste so good!!!
Score Big on these items👍this will make life easier for y'all. Great Fine👍💯
I just love your vidios its always educational and fun thank you
Congratulations on your new chute and cradle! The goats may not be thrilled, but I’m sure you and Rachel are!
For sure
Bologna bandit right there!!
Yes

Have you considered mounting the feeder on pressure treated 4x4's to keep it off the ground? Also, if you find they still pull a lot of feed out of it, you could place field fence of cattle panel in the bottom to prevent them from pulling out to much at one time.
Hey there Kevin, not sure if someone mentioned this already, but you can take a couple 2x6 boards the length of the feet on the bale holder, pressure treated better but anythingwill do. And yo can use pipe hanger straps of even wire to hold feet on boards, it will help keepmit from sinking in the muck. And should get at least 5 years before having to replace the boards, should help with rust issues as well. Just an idea. Keep up the great videos, best luck to you and the family.
Maybe use brake grease or something with more of a viscosity. WD40 won't last as long and you'll keep having to respray
I think I would lag bolt a treated 4X4 to the runners to keep the steel off the ground.
That's what we were thinking!
I am jealous of your chute!! If you have as many goats as you and I have it’s almost a necessity.
It sure makes it easier!
We have a semi chute system but I have been looking for one just like you found. Will keep on looking.....
You have a good eye for equipment. Other than some cleaning up, a good washing it looks in really great shape. Great buy for making some chores slot easier.
Thanks Kevin for sharing the video. They do waste the hay.
check out Al at Lumnah Acres. he put fence panels in his feeders that saves even more hay....the slots on yours will still waste alot of hay....just saying
Al feeds square bale flakes. Keeping goats off round bales would be challenging.
"I bought a whole can of WD40." LOL Can you buy just part of a can? Cracked me up!
Paulla Wells lol. I wanted to say the same thing. It made me giggle. Bub is so cute... I mean handsome. 😎
@@judypritchett8271 - Right!?! It was so funny! Is Bub Kevin? Is he your family? My daughter called her brother bubba when she was little is why ask.
Kevin is my son. We are so proud of him. I have always called him Bubby or Bub. He is a Jr so we have always called him Bub. He is my heartbeat.
@@judypritchett8271 - That is so sweet! He is a good one for sure! You did a great job raising him up! I enjoy him and Rachel and the kids. So glad they do YT!
I was mor interested in the powerwasher 😂
Cheap skis screwed to the legs of the hay feeder will make it easier to move around
Thanks if you use white lithium to lube it's water proof.
Spray the feet of the feeder with the truck bedliner
Good idea
@@HiddenHeightsFarm you can buy it at any parts store by the gallon but I hurd you can get it in spray can as well
Looks great know
Great video!💕🐐
I saw someone put ski's without the boot part on the skids to protect them - just screwed them on and he got them from the second hand shop for $15 for the pair - that might work to protect the skids on your new feeder and cheap
Would love more information on who built your feeder.
Quit with the WD40!! It has some uses, but is a CLEANER, and you need to use light oil.
my family just used a milking stand to do that
have u thought about useing flex seal the rubber flexible spray or roll on think it would work good on the bottom keeping it from rusting, it works great
Anyone who would beat you up about that chute pays full retail for everything. That thing looks like its only been used once. I would avoid the WD 40 for long term lubrication.
Most primer is porous and it will rust put a finish coat of paint on it
True. Primer absorbs water. People put it on their cars and then wonder why it's rusting.
This is a primer paint. Like two in one, very thick and i put like 4 coats on.
👍👍👍😎
If you live in north east oklahoma and need some welding jobs done i would trade some goats for welding work once we get into our homestead in south west Missouri. Food for thought.
Or should i say food for welding. Lol
Just a thought did you think of attaching green 2x4 to the bottoms of the hay feeder it’s not sitting in the mud and stuff
😍😍😍
When is Mojo getting his bath?
What kind of goat wormer would you prefer for a person to use I'm fixing to get me a bunch of goats in a few days I've had goats in the past but I don't believe that my mother and my dad ever warmed them I can't remember it's been so long ago but what kind of worm medicine would you prefer a person to use on a goat if she's pregnant and give me some tips on the stuff that I would need to do their feet with I mean I know how to follow me and everything like that but like if they've got a ride in their feet let me know thank you
You really need to take a decal sample to your local vet. There is several different type of parasites and your vet can tell you what med will kill that particular type of parasite.
