Keeping Feed Trough at Proper Level by Chains
A nearby neighbor who feeds a carload of steers yearly explains a chain solution to regulate trough height. He suspends troughs from beams with six inch links and adjusts by locking a link higher as manure accumulates. When cleaned, lighter links drop back, preventing steer access while offering hogs room to feed. Wood spacers hold the rack at the correct height to stop front feet in the rack while allowing eating access.
