The Last Backyard Pig Feeder I'll Ever Build (Maybe)

I'm tired of building feeders for our pigs. Hopefully, this is the last one I'll ever need.
Sides: 9' 10 1/2"
Ends: I totally forgot and it's in the pig pasture now!

    This is awesome! I've looked at that trough at TSC several times and thought to myself... if that was low enough for my pigs that'd be a super feeder. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

    Nice modification of a product to meet your needs. I often find myself wondering the hardware/lumber/tool stores trying to find the parts that will suit the project I have in mind. I have decided I need to learn to weld. It would make many of my projects much easier.

    I would have just replaced the shorts to be on the end instead of on the inside.

    I played that scenario out off camera and it would have made the sides 3 inches too narrow. The end pieces were the right size, but the long sides were too short.

    I built a v trough last year. The issue is that they push it all over the pasture. Then I’m left running across a muddy pasture in much boots with a 45lb bucket of fermented feed while 10 hungry pigs chase me down… in the clothes I’m about to show up to work in. And if they push it into a wallow, there’s no digging it out by hand. This doesn’t get moved more than a foot in any direction, and if it does, I just swing over with the tractor, scoop it up, and reposition it.
