PortaTrough™ 3
Heavy-duty 3 ft feeder used to provide grain, minerals, salt or water to animals. Portable for easy movement and stackable for storage.
- Used to provide feed to a ram or two on pasture or to feed a small pen of show lambs or goat kids.
- Excellent all-purpose trough for birds and small animals works well for providing feed or water to waterfowl (which consume case quantities of water!)
- Feed livestock protection dogs and puppies without worrying about the feeder being tipped over by a playful puppy (or ewe).
Need a larger trough? See PortaTrough™ 5.

Bought the PortaTrough as a trial pig feeder, since they have been able to break everything else. These work great. Will be buying more.
Crystal U from Kentucky
Very well made. Will be buying more.
Ann S from New York
I love my PortaTrough. I use it to water my ducks. I like it since they can not tip it over and so far no ducks are in the trough.
Cindy L from North Carolina
I love the PortaTrough! I bought one just to see if I liked it for my two piggies, the verdict, I love it! The pigs do not knock it over, it is easily emptied because the trough has a very well placed handle on the side and it is made of a very durable plastic material. Now that I have seen one and put it to good use, I will consider buying more for some of my other livestock animals.

These are great! I love them for feed and this year I’m trying them for waterers.
