Feeding Troughs Dubbo
Dubbo Feeding Troughs
Ballimore Welding builds no-nonsense feeding troughs that hold their shape, handle rough paddocks and help you get more out of every feed run. From sheep to cattle, we’ve got sizes to suit - and they’re built to last.
Multiple Sizes Available
Choose from 650mm or 1000mm wide cattle troughs (both 600mm high), or 650mm wide x 350mm high options for sheep. Panel troughs are also available in 1200mm (sheep) or 1800mm (cattle) heights.
Up to 8 Metres Long
Need something longer? No problem. Our fully welded steel troughs are available in lengths up to 8 metres - ideal for large mobs or extended feeding zones on bigger blocks.
Sturdy, Moveable Frames
Raised on heavy-duty pipe legs with a full base frame, each unit is strong, stable and easy to shift with a loader or by hand. No tipping, no bolting, no stuffing around.
All troughs up to 8m long.
Cattle: (650mm wide x 600 mm high) (1000mm wide 600 mm high)
Sheep (650 wide 350 mm high)
Panel Troughs (Cattle 1800 high) (Sheep 1200 high)
Built For Rural Work
These troughs are made to work hard and keep their shape. Whether you’re feeding pellets, grain or hay, each unit holds steady—even when stock lean, rub or push against it. High-clearance frames and sloped sides make feeding cleaner and more efficient, while welded construction means less maintenance and no loose fittings.
They're tough enough for cattle, precise enough for sheep, and flexible enough for all kinds of grazing setups. Everything’s fabricated in-house with steel that’s made for rural life. Call 0428 323 208 to order your ideal size or ask about a custom-fit panel trough for your yards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size feeding trough is best for cattle or sheep?
For cattle, common trough dimensions are 650mm or 1000mm wide, both with a height of 600mm. These allow multiple head to feed at once while reducing trampling and tipping. Sheep benefit from lower troughs - around 350mm high and 650mm wide - so they can comfortably access feed without jumping in or wasting it. For yard setups, panel troughs are often used, with heights of up to 1800mm for cattle and 1200mm for sheep. The right size depends on stock numbers, feed type and how the troughs are used within the paddock or yard.
Why choose a fully welded trough over bolted or flat-pack options?
Fully welded troughs offer superior strength and longevity. There are no bolts to loosen, shift or rust, and no gaps for feed to fall through. Welded joints create a rigid structure that can handle rough use - especially when livestock lean, nudge or rub against the sides. They're also less likely to collapse or twist under weight, which is a risk with lighter, bolt-together designs. Over time, fully welded units tend to require less maintenance and offer better value for larger-scale or long-term setups.
How long can a feeding trough be?
Feeding troughs can be made up to 8 metres long, depending on the materials used and the structural design. Longer troughs are useful when feeding larger mobs, reducing crowding and giving stock more space to eat. However, longer units may require more stable placement and adequate support to avoid sagging or tipping, particularly on uneven ground. For portable setups, shorter lengths are often easier to move between paddocks or reposition around a feeding rotation.
