[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1618970, member: 17956"] Not even sure what type I need, and never dreamt there were so many options Rambling details: 1. I'll be fence line feeding 2. 400-775 Lb calves 3. Welding is out, gotta be 6" x 6" post and pressure treated 2" x 6". Unfortunatly had a tornado and have those 2 materials running out my ears. 4. I assume the H troughs are for eating on both sides, and the J is for fenceline? 5. Wont be feeding any type of total ration in them. This is strictly to stay out of the mud while feeding grain to calves I'm backgrounding. 6. Say your feeding 80 calves. How many feet of space do you need? Surely I just double the space I'd need for calves eating on both sides of a trough. 7. 6' or 7' or maybe 8' concrete pad on their side, and gravel on my side? Sit the trough on concrete or the ground? [/QUOTE]
