[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1716491, member: 25884"] Well, you know the date to take him.... get the trailer in there and feed him in it. If the weather looks like it is going to get bad you could move it before snow and then hope in a day or 2 he will remember that the trailer is for feed regardless of where it is. If he learns to just go in to eat, then the size of the pen should be of minor importance. Get him used to going in it... then he will just go in regardless of where the pen is or how big. He will just say.... yum I'm getting feed.... I'd put it in the best place to get it out... see if after a few days he won't just go in it for the feed... If he comes to a bucket, feed some on the ground by the open back of the trailer, some up on the back inside the trailer... then some further in... in a couple of days he ought to just go right in to a bucket/tub with feed inside the trailer. Stomachs rule for most animals.... [/QUOTE]
