Old Tires Make Cheap Livestock Feeders And Waterers TIRES/WHEELS Miscellaneous 30-3-41 Old car or pickup tires can be used to make cheap livestock feeders and waterers. I use a sawzall to cut the tire into three pieces and grind the edges down smooth. Then I wire the tire to a fence. The tire's black color helps keep water from freezing. But if the water ever does freeze up, the tire is flexible enough that I can just hit it with a hammer to break up the ice.
