What do you do with a bull who won't stop turning a 10ft feed trough over? Rocket scientist has decided that once their grain is gone at feeding time, that it is fun to turn over the feed trough (metal frame with plastic lining type). In doing so, he pushes in the plastic and I have to pop it back out. Eventually it will stress and crack the plastic.
I have caught him doing it and gave him a whack with a sorting stick, but he just backs off and comes back in a few minutes. I can not put a cement feeder in as I need to be able to open/close a gate where the feeder is. I thought about chaining it to the gate, but I fear that it will make it easier to break or crush. Feeder is in the barn as I want to keep both the feeder and the grain dry.
Bull is gonna be a Big Mac if he doesn't cut it out.
Ideas?
