Is that pvc? I need to build one!! My son does most of the feeding, so I'm sure he would appreciate it. I saw one somewhere that someone build from a length of gutter and put wheels on it so they could roll it under the fence once the feed was in it and pull it out when it was gone.

It is PVC. It works great.We need to fix something on the bottom of the cattle panels because some of them are crawling to the inside.Which is fine till I want them inside to work with them and they crawl out. As for the spilled feed we have 18,000 chickens but they are in their houses.The doves and crows clean up anything that is left.

I LOVE when you guys share your ideas like this ! ! ! My brain is churning right now because I have all the components to do the same thing. THANK YOU, Chris!
