How to Use
Tips
How high should bucket teat units be placed?
Not much higher than a mother's own teat (which is usually low). When a nursing ruminant newborn stretches out its neck, the esophagus forms a groove to carry the milk into the fourth stomach. If it doesn't, the milk falls into the first stomach (intended for grass/hay) instead of the fourth. This causes the first stomach to enlarge and form a potbelly. Place the bucket so the teat is as low as the teats on your ewes.

Love it!

Thank heaven for sturdy square buckets at reasonable prices…
We’re using ours as a chicken waterer with a gravity cup waterer. They are leak-proof against a square bucket and the bucket is more space efficient against the wall of the coop. We are able to water from both sides and the front simultaneously, or a fit in a corner setup. Much cheaper to rig up myself from Premier 1 with an EzeLid and fence bucket holder than from bundles available on Amazon — also more customizable.
The bucket was easy to drill, easy to hang with the holder (on 1" metal bar horizontally through chain link on the side of a dog kennel setup) and easy to clean as needed. I keep the EzeLid top on to keep extra debris out, but it’s only latched on the front lip so I can lift up the back to add water via a funnel or check the water level through the fence without having to go into the run.
My only regret is that Premier doesn’t offer a 5 gallon option, but that might overwhelm the fence when full. Will just have to order another in the future.
