[QUOTE="Bandsaw, post: 795147, member: 9037"] We are using wood troughs. Ship lapped bottoms with 2 x 6 sides and ends, all hardwood lumber off our mill. We have started using semi trailer tires as legs. Stack two and bolt them together and then bolt them to the trough. We drill drain holes in the ends of the troughs and some through the tires so they won't hold water. The tires have a little give, and seem to discourage calves standing in them. Better figure moving them with a loader, though. [/QUOTE]
