water trough

[Frank S]

My neighbor gave me a couple of feral piglets to raise one being just past weaning size the other possibly 40 lbs, I had a concrete bowl that held about a gallon, for their water but over the past month they have managed to almost bury it twice and every day it was filled with dirt from their rooting around, so I decided to up their water bowl with a steel trough.
It is made from 14" of the bottom of an oxygen cylinder split in half and welded together mounted on 3" channel




Holds about 3 gallons, of course even though it sits higher from the ground they will manage to root the dirt up to it so I will have to fluse the dirt out but that is just the nature of pigs
