Buckets, Tubs & Feeders

Choosing the Right Equipment for Feeding & Watering

Feed buckets and tubs come in different shapes and materials depending on how and where you plan to use them. Flat-back buckets are ideal for stall mounting, while round or corner feeders work well in group settings or outdoor pens. Rubber feed pans are a durable option for animals that tend to knock over containers or chew plastic.

Tough Stuff and Little Giant offer weather-resistant plastics that are UV-protected and flexible in cold temperatures—perfect for Canadian barns. Miller also manufacture rugged buckets and hanging feeders that handle the wear and tear of daily use. Sizes range from small pans for goats or chickens to large-capacity tubs for horses or cattle.

Always consider how easy it is to carry, clean, and mount the bucket or feeder. Molded handles, built-in pour spouts, and reinforced rims add convenience and prevent cracking. When equipment is properly chosen and maintained, it helps reduce waste, improve hygiene, and support better animal health across the board.
