We love these feeders. The toe hole is great to dump the trough if you have rain or manure needing removed before you dump feed! Has held up well so far to Registered Boer Goats in show condition.

A reliable and durable feeder for any season

Already had 2 of these troughs and they work great for the sheep. Just the right height for the lambs. Fast delivery as well.

Working well for ewes that needed extra bunk space. Can't be flipped by the animals; require minimal cleanout and that only because lambs are also present and not deterred from stepping in them.
I like that they are easy to carry/move and still stay in place when in use.

My intention was not to use it as a feeder but as an electrolysis tank. As a feeder it would have been great. The measurements were misleading causing it to be too small for its intended use. Here are the true inside measurements at very top 54 3/4"L x 6 7/8"W x 5 3/4"D. It starts curving rapidly from the top. The very bottom is 49 5/8" long. I would recommend it for its intended use as a nice heavy duty feeder, but if you want to use it for a de-rusting tank is it not well suited for that due to the curved bottom.
