I'm putting some new calving pens in one of my sheds and am doing my best to make things as efficient and easy as possible. I am going to have 3 pens in a row + a temporary one at the end. These will have Ritchie Calving gates separating them. The pens are approx
15 x 15. The issue I am having is water. Have small JFC double troughs at the mo but they tend to crap in them and they always seem to leak, saturating the calving pen. Have used standard ball valve drinkers before, but they seem to block up or leak and the cows like scratching their arses on them.
Anyone have any wonderful solutions/ideas or drinkers/troughs that sort these problems.
