Instructions
Make a diagram on paper of a keyhole or whatever shape you would like the holes for your goats' head to be.
Trace the pattern onto two sheets of the plywood at intervals of 2 feet. Cut the holes out using your jigsaw.
Cut the two studs in half. Measure each piece for accuracy before cutting.
Cut the piece of plywood that does not have the feeder holes in it in half so that you have two 4-by-4-foot pieces.
Form a "v" with two of the stud halves and attach it to one of the 4-by-4-foot pieces of plywood. Drive screws into the 2-by-4s at 6-inch intervals. Repeat for the other end.
Place one end up and attach the plywood containing the feed holes to the underside of the "v." Repeat for the other end of the feeder.
Cut the 8-foot 2-by-4 in half to use as feet on the feeder.
Screw one half of the 2-by-4 into the feeder at the bottom of the "v" on each side to form feet and add stability.
