Slop holders on a farm (7)

I believe the answer is:

troughs

(Other definitions for troughs that I've seen before include "Containers for feeding cattle and horses" , "Depressions" , "Long narrow receptacles with food or water for animals" , "low periods" , "Hollows between waves" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
