keep cows off feeder.
Hello everyone I was just wondering if anyone knew anyway to keep the cows away from my feeder. Would a fence around it keep them out. And if I did that would the deer jump it to get to it.

It would let the deer and maybe some turkeys in but not the cattle.
Good Luck

RE: keep cows off feeder.
I put a fence around an apple tree that I wanted to keep for the deer. This tree was near my stand and the cows would congregate around the treefor hours eating all the apples. I just put up a cheap snow fence and it kept them out, out of sight out of mind I guess. The deer loved it they would come in hop over the fence and enjoy the apples all with 50 yards of my stand. Saw a lot of deer come to the fenced in apple tree.. Best of all the cows would go somewhere else.

Easiest fence around a feeder is made from hog panels, three feet high by 10 feet long. Two panels per side, held up with T posts. Keeps out cattle, sheep, and goats, and whitetails will jump right in, except for the itty bitty ones.
