We discovered that they have a wonderful free service available. They have a huge saw that can cut your plywood or other big sheets into your specific dimensions. It really is going to save some time in building these feeders. So, we started with this:

You'll notice we are not using treated lumber on our feeders. I felt that since I've gone to eating as organically as I can, the sheep should too. I didn't want to expose them to all the chemicals in the treated lumber. We felt it wouldn't be a problem in replacing boards as they rot. Especially since these will be inside the barn.
Eventually the feeders are going to look like this:
I ordered the panels from Premier yesterday and can't wait to see the finished feeders!
