I would serve the heifers personally I find them easier when on standing heat.

At least you’re safe in the knowledge that if she’s suckling it won’t be affecting the tank!

We had concrete round ones years ago from a south Wales company, haven't really stood the test of time. Walls thinner than todays ones and most developed cracks over time.
Agree to keep them away from tracks.

anybody preempted a big push/demandfor grazing type dairy x calves and ditched BB for Hereford/Angus? If we have a clear test next week I am tempted to. Only reason for using BB is ensuring a saleable calf at 10 days old even if down with TB.

Some of ours are on tracks. We have our water pipes above ground so it’s easier and more convenient. Having good pressure means their never thirsty so passing troughs on trackways isn t an issue.

We have used Angus for a decade.
Putting in troughs at the moment, small fields share a trough(3-4 acres), which the cows can get around as it’s at a joining point , large fields, in field, but accessible depending on break fence.
Granant concrete make round troughs, are very high quality and keenly priced. Moore concrete also look good, but are seriously more money.
