Heavy-Duty Steel Grain Feed Bunk with 9-Inch V-Bottom
This 11½-foot grain feed bunk combines corrugated steel sides, a sloped V-bottom and squared ends in a durable livestock feeding trough. The 9-inch-deep feeding area holds approximately 14 bushels of grain, while drain holes at each end help release water during cleaning and outdoor use.
Built for routine grain feeding, the steel bunk has reinforced end panels, a powder-coated finish and square legs designed for practical placement and movement. Browse livestock feed bunks and troughs to compare designs and feeding depths.

Why Choose a Corrugated Steel Feed Bunk?
The corrugated side panels add rigidity to the feeding area, while the continuous hemmed edges and heavier-gauge ends contribute to a robust all-steel assembly. This is a practical choice for ranchers who want a long trough for feeding multiple animals along a single line.
The square ends allow compatible bunks to sit closely together. Unlike a rounded-bottom design, the sloped V-bottom helps concentrate feed toward the trough's centerline and makes it easier to scoop out leftover grain. Drain holes at each end assist cleanup, although feed should not be left exposed to rain or standing moisture.
9-Inch Grain Bunk vs. Deeper Silage Bunks
This 9-inch-deep bunk is intended for grain feeding, with an approximate capacity of 14 bushels. A deeper silage bunk offers more room for bulkier forage and different feeding needs. Consider the ration, number of animals, feeding frequency and available space when selecting a trough. The nominal overall dimensions and capacity here apply to this grain model rather than every bunk in the collection.

Bunk Connectors for Longer Feeding Lines
Optional bunk connectors join compatible square-end feed bunks to maintain alignment and reduce gaps between sections. They can also help when repositioning a connected line of bunks where conditions and equipment allow. Check the connector design and attachment points before ordering; connectors are separate accessories unless included in the selected purchase option.
Connector specifications: 10-gauge hot-rolled steel, 26 inches long by 3⅞ inches wide, 2³⁄₁₆-inch opening, powder-coated finish, approximately 7.5 pounds and a one-year warranty. These measurements describe the connector, not the grain feed bunk.

Feeding, Cleaning and Placement
Plan an accessible feed line with adequate space around the bunks and secure ground conditions. Drain openings help water escape but do not replace regular cleaning. Remove leftover wet or spoiled feed, clear blocked drain holes and inspect edges, bolts, welds and finishes as part of routine maintenance.
The V-bottom shape can make material easier to collect while cleaning. Although the design may provide a better foothold than some rounded trough profiles if a small animal climbs inside, do not rely on feeder geometry alone to prevent entrapment or injury. Choose feeder placement and supervision appropriate to the livestock being fed.

Planning Delivery and Your Feeding Line
At 11½ feet long and approximately 152 pounds, this all-steel bunk requires suitable delivery access, unloading plans and room to position it. If you're arranging multiple bunks in one line, consider how the optional connectors and available working space affect the layout.
