Converting beef sheds into a dairy unit and wondering what to do about water troughs.
We've a pretty poor water supply so fitting a large tank to supply troughs etc.
Don't like the look of the tipping troughs but wondered about the fast empty ones but looking at min of £450 each for a 3 metre trough.
Have people found any real benefit in regularly emptying/cleaning the troughs?
Wondered if I could buy a basic IAE type trough and fit a fast emptying valve?
Any thoughts, recommendations or ideas for a sensibly priced option for troughs would be appreciated. Thanks
