Like many people, we have numerous improvised scoops to handle dog food, bird seed, chicken feed, potting soil, etc.
Usually, it’s just what we can grab - an old can, a pitcher, a plastic container - none of which were designed for scooping and most of which crack or break or spill the contents.
The ideal scoop, in our opinion, is a galvanized grain scoop - lightweight and designed for the job with high rounded sides and a nice balance. Even if your hands aren’t steady, these trusty farm scoops are easy to use and get the contents from barrel or bag to its intended destination.
We live near farm country and Cait brought one home from a tag sale and gave it to Marty - The Official G.G. Scooper for chickens, dogs and what have you. Mary loves it and wishes she had more.
The eNasco online farm store has several sizes to choose from and many other fascinating products, including everything you need to raise an Alpaca or artificially inseminate a cow. (Isn’t the Web amazing?)
