We have (had) 3 H100 in the hoop barn. Cattle tore stainless steel trough up in three years. Replaced one top, reinforced one top with steel straps, replaced one water with Franklin. Will replace other two this summer.
Hello Gary, Eastern Iowa
That's all I (we going back to when it was still dad's farm) ever had on the farm. 40 years & never had 1 destroyed by cattle. Leave 1 exposed to cattle & you're asking for trouble! They're going to destroy it. Just like there was a thread on here a while back about what kind of damage cattle can do to our facilities. Only ones that might stand up are the mining tire troughs or the concrete troughs. There is a simple solution to your problem. Protect them from the abuse of the cattle!
Amazing how a few feet of angle iron & a little bit of time in the shop can save you a lot in the long run!!!
