    What size trough would be sufficient for 100 cow herd? What size pipe are lads using?

    Min 180 gallon and 3/4 inch piping,fast flow ball cock
    Pressure at pump set to at least 50 bar

    It would depend on the farm as well. If it was a long narrow farm with some land higher than the water source it might need 1.25 inch for the start of the piping and all 3/4 inch from there on.

    Lad not to far from me rearing bulls. Put down a few scrapped cattle slats around the troughs. Saves the ground around the troughs in wet weather and stops bulls rooting in the dry weather.

    Liffeys or Spillanes

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    You would have to have Banaghers under bulls. As well did he put mats on them. You need mats under bulls

    I was talking about concrete water troughs Bass;) not slats. There's been a few disappointed lads around here lately with Banagher slats letting them down, pun intended.:(

    What would be the best size for 80 bullocks max in the one paddock? Concrete and might put on concrete base as ground can be challenging and sticky. Thanks
