FARM ALARM - FARM ALARM In this episode We build a livestock feeder out of a 30 gallon barrel drum. You can also use a 55 gallon drum. This will work great for sheep, cows, pigs, horses and goats.
Much cheaper than buying from Orscheln or Tractor Supply.

@stevehogan1914 Год назад

I’ll keep it 18” tall and three half barrels long. Making them for cows. Great idea. Thank you

@FarmAlarm Год назад

Glad to help

@farmalarm Nice build. I would just put a few bricks under the back lower rim of the stand which would angle the feeders lower in the front for them to reach. Great video!

@007darryl 6 лет назад

Dig a few ruts in the ground to lower it for now.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Now Darryl you took that idea right out of my brain. LOL. Thanks buddy

@jerryhoops4043 6 лет назад

Or you could use a timber the size of a railroad tie placed in front of the feeder to allow them to step up six to eight inches to accomplish the same thing.

Nice job. Using what you have, that's homesteading.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Now that is a great point Nancy

Nice! If it’s cheap or free, I’m all about it! Dollar stores, Goodwill, trash/dumpster diving...ain’t no shame in my game! Repurpose or reuse. And if he can’t build it, well, I guess I haven’t found anything he hasn’t been able to fix/build. I find the materials, he does the work.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

My wife loves the dollar store and second hand stores too!

@calvinwilson6860 3 года назад

I used rebar one mine. Basically made a boxed frame from the rebar welded tabs to to keep the barrel secured. I went 16 inches for height works good!

@judys9201 6 лет назад

Looks like you did nice job, yes i agree if you can make it why buy it. Great video, loved the little guy at the end.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Thanks Judy. Henry loves to be on camera

@Screamingpinesfarm 6 лет назад

Great build. However there are many with out welders. Showed a simple build that 2x material could be used wont last as long but will work. Have wonderful day!

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Thanks Wes. You have a wonderful day too my friend

Thanks man! Well done.

@whitehouseonthehill 6 лет назад

Really nice feeder. I wish I could weld! I'm confused how instant travel works... one snap gets you to Orscheln's, but you can get back home without snapping? I've been snapping at the wrong times.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Thanks mr. President. Oh wait sorry I seen your name said White House. I got confused. I learned how to weld when I was in grade school from an old Machinist. Instant travel is something easily achieved. Maybe I should do a tutorial on it. But you have to snap along with the Andy Griffith theme song.

@tanyah9716 6 лет назад

Looks great just a note we have been able to get barrels like those free at local car was is what they get soap in and they have to dispose of them from time to time.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

That sounds like a good resource. Thanks for the heads up

@crawfordhomestead8872 6 лет назад

We used one of these barrels for a chicken brooder in our house! Great video

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Thanks guys. Haha yeah I forgot you guys had a pet chicken

@colleenquigley1082 2 года назад

Where did you get the barrel

@martinrampersad7210 3 года назад

Use a wooden/ plastic crate or two to build the height you looking for now....I do not see the need to change anything since they grow so fast.....

@littlecreekhomestead4086 6 лет назад

Awesome way to use what you have on hand. Thanks for sharing. Now to share to see if any of my friends can build it for me....lol!!! Out of my skill set and nit in my tool box :( ~Vicki~

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

I hope you can have somebody make it for you!

@littlecreekhomestead4086 6 лет назад

Are you volunteering? LOL!

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Lol I am not! 👍😉

@littlecreekhomestead4086 6 лет назад

Darn!! I only need help with the base since I have ZERO welding knowledge!!! I think I could pull off cutting the plastic barrel in half and bolting it together....but that metal base is a whole other story!

@missiontoaccomplish 5 лет назад

Very good video. I am from India. I was just wondering if you have any idea of how to make a simple goat feeder using metal wire nets?

@pranavkro9212 4 года назад

How many years will it last if kept in rainy weather 24 hours a day?

@3OFAKINDHACEESA 5 лет назад

Awesome Job 🤙🤙🤙

@FarmAlarm 5 лет назад

Thank you!

@bharathds7021 4 года назад

@dianawilliams-coe7747 6 лет назад

Great job...better than spending$100...

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Thank you Diana

@porkypig9748 4 года назад

I think I may try it with a wood frame.

@midgamarine 6 лет назад

Tracy, put you a pallet down there. Close the gaps on the pallet so they don't step in the gaps.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

That's a good idea Troy. And see you're saying and make an elevated platform for them to stand on. Good idea

@genevievegreene1595 5 лет назад

Nice job daddy. I have subscribed.

@FarmAlarm 5 лет назад

Hey thanks! 👍👍

@HaywireHomestead 6 лет назад

I have been looking into building a feeder for my goats. I have a barrel I can use. Thinking I can make the frame out of wood that we have laying around.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Well you came to the right place! I hope you make a video on your project!

@plainspeaker4835 6 лет назад

I’d like to make one and use it for a raised bed

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Hey that sounds like a great idea!

@PaulPetrea 6 лет назад

Tracy, is that Rohn tower, about 5:45 into the video? (former amateur radio operator, here. Climbed a many of them as a young man.)

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Lol well it is a radio tower. My neighbor was throwing it in the trash. I gladly took it. Never know when you need to put something up in the air LOL

@PaulPetrea 6 лет назад

No doubt. Wow! Crazy that someone would trash perfectly good tower. Score for you, man.

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

That's kind of what I was thinking. I was thinking maybe I could put some kind of a wind turbine generator on top of it

@PaulPetrea 6 лет назад

As long as the wind in your area makes it worthwhile. If not, maybe a weather monitoring system? They can be pretty valuable, depending on natural disasters common in your region / area. How many sections, total?

@FarmAlarm 6 лет назад

Oh now i never thought about a weather station. I like that! 3 sections, with a pole on top of one.
