Square Buckets with Drilled Holes
Pre-drilled square buckets are ideal when building DIY feeders for orphan lambs and goat kids. Flat sides won’t wobble on walls and panels, reducing the likelihood of being knocked around by assertive livestock.
We’ll drill our square buckets with your choice of holes for bucket teat units or spiral poultry feeders.
Before completing your order…
- Order accessories that go along with the drilled buckets under “Accessories” tab below—teat units, lids, etc.
- Specify the number of holes and location (see second photo) per bucket at checkout by using the letters in the customization box.

Great bucket! Works wonders, and if I would need another one, I would buy it again.

I have done DIY bottle buckets but these are so much better. The flat sides make it much more stable when hanging on fence. The only thing I could think would improve them is if they were like 1" narrower so the base would fit into the squares on a cattle panel to keep it even more stable. But the hangers work great I’ve found. A bungee across the front keeps kids/lambs from head butting it and flipping it.
Holes were drilled cleanly and even. Great quality!

After having lambs in my mudroom for 2 weeks, this bucket feeder and the extra accessories has given me the ability to move my 3 orphaned lambs out to the barn. The bucket feeder was easy to assemble, the lambs easily transitioned from bottles to the feeder, and it has given the lambs a chance at learning to be lambs, not pets.
My only regret is not knowing about it sooner.

Buckets work great!

Bought a bucket with teat units and nipples one a week ago. Found it very handy and wanted a second so I would have time to clean between feedings. Also ordered the lid and extra hanger. Expecting more goat kids in May and want to be prepared. So much easier than feeding kids individually and the time saved is wonderful. I recommend this setup to anyone that raises goats/lambs.
