I would like to build a free choice feeder. anybody have any plans or ideas? I would like to mix some mineral supplements with the oats and barley. Any suggestions on what brand to use?

We have built a few of these and they work really well. Get you a 55 gal. drum that has a removable lid and cut out a section down toward the bottom on the side of the drum about 6" X 8". Cover this with a piece of 1/2" spaced wire mesh. Put three legs on the barrel so that the bottom of the barrel is about 32" from the ground, fill it up with corn and there you go!

You will probably need to put the feeder under a shed of some sort, otherwise the stuff will get wet and mold.

Do the J type PVC feeder...
