water troughs

Farm animal drinkers

Water troughs are long, narrow containers for livestock to drink from, typically found in pastures, barns, or corrals.

The trough shape—shallow and elongated—allows multiple animals to drink simultaneously: The horses gathered at the water trough.

Keeping troughs clean and filled is basic animal husbandry.
