Barrel Waterer System Is “Hog Tough”
 ✖  |
Anyone who raises hogs knows how hard they can be on fencing, shelter, feed troughs, and waterers. Jim Criger, of Springfield, Mo, decided to build a watering system that would be a little harder for his Red Wattle hogs to tear up. He mounted a 15-gal. water barrel on top of a 5-ft. tall angle iron frame. Baling twine holds the barrel in place on top of the stand. A 3-ft. length of pvc hose attaches to the barrel via a hose clamp, and at the opposite end of the hose is a large water nipple for the hogs to drink from. The watering stand is placed on the outside of the hog fence and the nipple wired to the fence so it’s the only part of the system the hogs can touch.
