@Gator would be proud of you.
i doubt brother will say much buit hed better be pleased as well. Its surprising how much work has gone in to them (made a total of 80 "pieces" so the picture is just a portion of them.
the guy helping me (a neighbour) refused to go home until hed put some straw down so he could take some pictures!

is that 4" or 6" pipe?
we went for 6", as thought 4 may be a little tight. couldnt find a ball valve to fit, so fitted a T on the end, which is useful as it has a bung in the bottom should we wish to drain them out.
Really pleased with them just looking at them tonight. should make life a lot easier.

You'll be surprised how much time it will save you. Not sure on the size but will have a look when I do my rounds

I know very little about livestock farming, but it looks to me like the kind of thing that you wonder why you didn't do it years ago!
Top job by the way

Look smart but don't appear to be very big. 3 and a bit foot wide? (judging by the block work)
i just make them!
i think they are 1.1m wide, and 1555 long
apparently they are a good size for a ewe and a lamb or two.
fitted up another 16 today, so getting there with them.
About 5 years ago the tap handle disappeared, as a quick fix a pair of mole grips have been on the tap ever since, but they have rusted so much and no longer grip, in another bodging rushing mood I found the old chain guider off the trails bike and tech screwed it on!

Today's improvised bodge was drain jetting
Went to unblock a sewer, no pics, wasn't pretty, and it just wouldn't shift with rods, long story that I won't elaborate on.....
So, only having rods with me, and now feeling like I'd taken a knife to a gunfight, I started to look at other options!
Lucky the place I was at had a pressure washer, and after much searching, I found some pipe fittings, and some tiny drill bits, and hey presto! I got myself a makeshift drain jetter
Nothing stunning, but it worked a treat
job creation also, new lid needed
