Youngblood made a cement hog trough sometime before I entered the world lo these 44 years. I don't remember him using any other for feeding hogs in the pasture for the entireity of the time I lived at home. However, it has since been lost or destroyed (I'd ask him exactly what happened to it but he's taking a nap). At any rate, when I got in this afternoon from work, he informed me that he had, just this morning, constructed a new one. I rushed to go see it and here is a picture of what it looks like so far:
The way he made it was that he dug an appropriate sized hole, lined it with some scrap chicken wire, poured some cement in, put in the big black pot he used as a form and then filled in around the pot with more cement. He is planning to make a second one: one for food, the other for water. If these two troughs turn out as well as the one he made before I was born, I will never need any more unless I ramp up operations. Unlikely since my goal is to reproduce Jamon Iberico de Belotta.
