Large Feed Trough — Hanging or Screw-In, 2-Pack 9-Quart (Blue)
Product description
Large-capacity troughs for bigger animals and group feeding. This 2-pack provides two blue feeding/watering troughs, each holding approximately 9 quarts, designed to serve large goats, sheep, dogs, cattle, pigs, deer, camelids, emus, poultry and medium-to-large pets. The size reduces how often you need to refill and allows multiple animals to feed or drink at once.
Multiple mounting choices come included. Each set ships with upgraded one-way locking clips, zip ties and metal screws so you can hang the troughs on wire or rope, secure them to thicker rails with ties, or fasten them to wood or solid surfaces with screws. The one-way clips are intended to lock more securely and resist being knocked free by curious animals.
Made from BPA-free polyethylene, the full-body construction focuses on animal safety and long life. The plastic formulation offers impact resistance as well as improved performance in cold and hot conditions to minimize warping or stress cracking. Interiors are smooth to limit leftover feed and make rinsing and scrubbing straightforward.
Use as a suspended feeder or fixed trough to cut down on spillage and contamination. Hanging the units keeps feed off the ground, lowers waste, and helps maintain a cleaner coop or pen. They function equally well as feeders or waterers depending on your herd or flock needs.
Practical for both small-scale homesteads and larger breeding operations, the troughs are simple to install and adaptable to many fence types and mounting surfaces. Choose the mounting hardware included that best matches your setup — clips for wire fencing, ties for thicker rails, screws for solid posts or walls.
Pros
- Large 9-quart capacity per trough
- Multiple mounting options included
- BPA-free, impact and temperature resistant plastic
Cons
- Snap hooks can be less secure with very strong animals
- Bolted mounting can make removal for deep cleaning awkward
- Carabiner-style hooks may unclip under heavy strain
VerdictA roomy, versatile pair of feeders suitable for larger animals and groups of smaller stock. Durable, BPA-free polyethylene resists impact, cold and heat, and the smooth interior cleans easily. Mounting options are flexible — clips, zip ties or screws — though some users find the snap hooks less secure for very strong animals. Overall a practical choice for keeping feed off the ground and reducing

Large enough
They’re sizable but not indestructible. Pigs managed to pull them off fencing without breaking them. I find zip ties hold them better than the carabiners.

Works well for dog feeders.
Simple to mount to our dog house and keeps kibble off the ground, which cuts down on spills and mess.

Get better snap hooks
Good capacity, but the snap hooks can come undone and fall off occasionally. Needs improved fastening hardware.

Durable
Very tough — my dog can’t tear them off the fence or chew them up. I’m buying more for the chicken coop because they hold up well.

Great size trough for small goats
Good capacity for small goats and decent material thickness. Comes with multiple fasteners to suit different mounts. Bolting them on works but makes removal for cleaning a bit fiddly; 9 qt is worth it over the smaller size.

Feeder
Performs as described. The fence clips feel a touch light but overall I’m pleased with the purchase.

Perfect for my chickens
I hang these in the run with the clips — they’re easy to dump and wash and keep feed clean off the ground. The smaller one I bought still worked well, but knowing a larger option exists is handy.

Trough bins to hang on fence or screw in posts
Much sturdier than cheaper alternatives I tried. Heavy-duty feel, easy to attach to fencing with the supplied hardware. My sheep and lambs use theirs without issue; I’ll replace the flimsier bins I have with more of these.
