cattle trough

Herd's water source

A cattle trough is a long, narrow container that holds water or feed for livestock.

Troughs are typically made of metal, concrete, or heavy plastic and placed in pastures or barns where animals can access them freely.

The term extends to any similar communal feeding or watering vessel: The office coffee station looked like a cattle trough by midafternoon.
