Title: Pig trough
Post by: Sylvia on September 09, 2009, 02:19:17 pm

Has anyone in the South Devon area have a good solid pig trough for sale? It needn't be big, just enough for three Berkshire porkers.

If you cant find one, and I dont know if its the same over there, but here in our DIY stores we can buy very large troughs made from recycled rubber which plasterers use to mix their plaster.  These are very heavy and when filled with water are difficult for the pigs to turn over, although they can sit in them.
