Hay hut

Last month, I lost almost an entire round bale to summer heat and a heavy down pour. It was awful and many tears were shed. In all my years of feeding rounds, I’ve rarely ever lost much hay. …

Swing gate allows for hay to be off ground/ easy clean- out and reload.

If I did not already own a Hayhut, I would build this. Feeds one round bale or six to eight square bales. All treated wood, solid roof sheathing, keeps hay off the ground, virtually eliminates waste and spoilage. Every edge is chamfered for horse safety. Built on skids, the unit is completely portable, so I can move it to fresh ground or another field anytime, pulling it with a pickup truck. It wasn't cheap, but it has paid for itself in savings in hay.

Well, if you read the DIY Square Bale Slow Feeder article, you know that our horses’ paddock was set up for square bales, not round. Round bales are a whole ‘nother ball game.
