I was once asked to Plumb out a farmers cattle and pig sheds.
It was for McAlpines Fusiliers on the M57, the old farm was in the way and they where relocating it.
It was quite simple really.
The pig troughs where fed from a central storage tank, so they could all be fed any anti biotics in their water.
The troughs where of course low down in each pen. Each had its own ball valve. So easy enough.
The cow pens where a bit different, the problem we had was keeping the troughs on the wall. Its is amazing how strong even a young cow is.
We where required to drill right through a 14" wall and put galvanised 3/8" stud iron right through with a cover plate on the back. And if I remember right they got one of these off no problem.
So if you ever get a job like this, I would advise looking at the animals the pen is for, it might surprise or frighten you how big they can be.
I had a pig roar at me as it looked over a six foot wall. It was huge and had tusks. It must have stood on its back legs something like eight feet or more. It certainly wasn't one of those little things you see on the telly.
Young cows are okay, they can be a problem though, as they want to lick you all the time, especially if your wearing wool.
But it can be a bit daunting if a herd of them get around you all wanting a taste.
