bunk feeder ideas

[plbcattle]

I love this board for all the ideas that are kicked around. the advice is very informative. I used concrete feed bunks at my old farm. I just bought a new place and moving them was out of the question. I refuse to pay almost $1000 for (9) 10"($100 each) bunk feeders. all it is is plastic and an aluminum frame. I know there are some of you who have ideas on making some easy bunk feeders. thanks

There are some ideas on the link below for cattle handling facilities and equipment. I'm not sure if there is a bunk feeder, but it's worth a peek.

I paid 70 bucks each for my concrete feeds .

I would replace the concrete bunks.. you'll never find anything that lasts as long. We've had all the others.. rubbermaid, metal, pipe, etc. etc. Four years ago we bought a load of the concrete feeders and water troughs, and they are wonderful! They ran $125 a piece.. and will last longer than I will!
