[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 1018548, member: 2306"] I've used old bathtubs bolted together end to end for smaller bunches. You can't hurt them. Also make good mineral troughs. For my custom grazing operation with 400+ yearlings I used 2 600 gallon round plastic troughs. Just timed my daily pasture rotations when the water was drank down low, tipped them over on their side, rolled them ahead 100' to the next paddock. The water truck was parked outside the fence so I just drove it ahead as well and filled the tanks. In a strip-grazing/mob-grazing scenario giving them 5-10 acres per day it worked fine. Plenty of exercise, but I liked that part of it.
