[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1522512, member: 25884"] We have also had an animal get knocked into a trough and upside down. Unfortunately, twice it didn't have a happy ending as they were dead when they were found the next day. Once had one get in and couldn't get rolled over enough to get it's feet under it and I took the truck and pushed it enough that it finally tipped over. One other time, I don't know how but I actually managed to get it tipped over by hand and the calf in it weighed 350 or 400. The troughs with the metal frame and the smooth plastic liner are definitely death traps. They are U shaped so an animal that is laying on it's side just cannot get it's feet under it. I like the ones on the ground, metal hot water tanks cut in half longways, that they cannot get stuck in. [/QUOTE]
