Drinking Bowl mounted to Cubicle

onyerbikepat

I want to mount a JFC plastic type drinking bowl to the furthest in upright of a Newton Rigg type cubicle. These are the old 3 legged types and there have a cavity block wall at the top end.
I want to to have it so that cows can drink it from both sides of the cubicle. I also want to be able to remove it and place it at other cubicles in needed. Calving is coming soon and all that.;)

Has anyone done this and if so could they put up a pic? I was thinking of some kind of welded frame and bolt it to drilled holes in the cubicle.

Would you be restricting access to water for any number more than two cows! Could you mount it in the end wall of the isle between cubicles and run the hose through the wall! Mount using concrete screws allowing you to remount it at any time you need

There will only be one cow drinking from each side. There is already a water trough at the door of the shed. I want this for when cows are calving. I have a big cubucle shed and i tie gates across every 15 ft or so when the cows are calving.

An aul bucket of water would be grand add molasses give her energy for calving! You will be checking her frequently anyway

We have these drinkers set up outside feed barriers so the cows don't sh!t in them. Made up a plate for them to fit onto and to a H beem. I'd say you could do the same and use a U bolt/clamp to secure them onto a cubicle. I'll take a pic tommorrow and put it up.

Just thought of it thisevening. Would this work using a U-bolt to the cubicle where I have it welded to the H beem?

Thanks, Mad4. I see if I can get U-Bolts.
