I made the feeders out of 50 gal drums with legs and a drop down funnel that branches off into four little scoops

Here's an article I found that I happened to really like. My brother and I were just discusssing what we were going to put in our protein feeders.

Makes sense to me.

Be sure that any manufactured feed that you buy doesn't have any animal by-products in it. Or better yet stick with soybeans.
