Texas Tough 10′ Trough

A 10′ trough is the simplest piece of feeding equipment on the place: a long open vessel that holds feed or water where cattle can reach it. The “Texas Tough” version is built for the daily wear of a working pen.

At 10′ it fits a small pen or a section of a longer line. It works for feed, for mineral, or for water where a permanent trough is not practical.

Troughs get abused. Cattle lean on the edge, step in them, and knock them around when they are empty. A heavy-built trough that stays put saves the constant repair that comes with lighter equipment. Set it on level ground so it does not tip, and keep the approach clear. In a pen that gets worked regularly, a good trough is one less thing to think about.
