This accept I only set it around 1 T-post so they can push it around and get to it better.

5 foot tall wire, 2 x 4" spacing, about 24" across, single t post so the deer can push it when it starts to get low.

The 2x4 net wire in 30" is good, but be sure if you have cattle on the property you have to have
a border fence around the feeder to keep the cows at bay, otherwise they will wrech the feeder at least what we
had to deal with few years back. I gave up on cottonseed mix, just buy it occasstion to tease the animals.....

I just dump it with corn and alfalfa. Works for me.


If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

I’ll be doing something different next year. I’m going to build a circular wire fence, on a table, and start it in the Fall. On an elevated table of some kind will keep the pigs from getting to it. About the size of a round bail of hay.


Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

I don’t want free choice anything available when season starts. Many others think differently.
