Available in both rectangular and round designs, these high-quality troughs are built to withstand extreme weather conditions, offering superior durability compared to plastic alternatives that can split, crack, or leech chemicals into the water. Their stock-proof, heavy design ensures they remain in place, preventing livestock from knocking them over. The smooth, user-friendly surface makes them easy to clean, reducing maintenance time. With a straightforward installation process and on-site delivery, our concrete troughs provide a reliable and efficient watering solution for your livestock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes of concrete cattle trough are available?
Bundaberg Concrete Casters casts concrete cattle troughs in both round and rectangular designs, in standard sizes and to custom dimensions. Call the office on (07) 4151 5969 with your stock numbers and paddock setup and we will confirm the right size and the lead time.

Are concrete water troughs better than plastic or poly troughs?
Concrete troughs do not split, crack or leech chemicals into the water, which plastic and poly troughs can do over time. A concrete trough is also heavy enough that cattle cannot tip or shift it, so stock keep continuous access to water and the trough stays where you put it.

Do concrete troughs come with a float valve?
Bundaberg Concrete Casters supplies a ball float valve set-up along with a ball float cover to protect it, checker plate lids for access, and 1 ½ inch inlets for either side fill or bottom fill. Replacement ball float valves and other spare components are available separately.

Do you supply concrete troughs across Queensland?
Yes. Bundaberg Concrete Casters casts concrete water troughs in Bundaberg and delivers throughout Queensland, either to your property or to your depot. The company also supplies the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads and Ergon Energy.

Can you get round concrete troughs?
Yes. Round concrete troughs are cast alongside the rectangular design. Round troughs suit open paddock placement where stock can water from all sides, while rectangular troughs suit fence lines and shared boundaries between paddocks.
