5 Gallon Flex Bucket

This is the bucket that ends up doing everything. Five gallons of flexible rubber means it survives being stepped on by a horse, frozen solid with water in it, or flung across the barnyard — it just flexes and carries on where a plastic pail would split.

The soft sides make it comfortable to carry pressed against your leg, and it works as well for grain and kitchen scraps as it does for water. Keep a couple around the goat pen and the garden and you’ll wonder how you managed with rigid pails.

Great for: daily feed and water rounds where buckets take a beating.
