Old Tires Make Cheap Livestock Feeders And Waterers
 ✖  |
Old car or pickup tires can be used to make cheap livestock feeders and waterers. I use a sawzall to cut the tire into three pieces and grind the edges down smooth. Then I wire the tire to a fence. The tire's black color helps keep water from freezing. But if the water ever does freeze up, the tire is flexible enough that I can just hit it with a hammer to break up the ice.
I use old 10-gal. liquid propane tanks, salvaged from my barbeque grill, to make automatic waterers for pigs. I lay the tank on its side and cut a shape out of it, then weld some metal onto the cut-out piece. A float equipped with a shut-off can be added.
