Wire stops for calf hutches

We found that filling discarded 15-gallon soap containers with a little sand makes for great stops for calf hutches.
They can easily be cleaned, have a built-in handle for moving, no sharp edges, and don't require stakes or anything else to be driven into the ground. Really makes moving and cleaning hutches much easier.
