Hi Joanne,
By all means, please share pics of your set-up. This listserv doesn't
allow attachments, but you can send me photos and I will add them to
this group's Scrapbook at http://www.blackbellysheep.info/ and point
people to them there.
The green grain feeders in the photos of my barn set-up are split
green sewer drain pipe. It is much cheaper than white PVC because it
can't be pressurized. I think I used 6" diameter.
For water, I placed a standard black sheep/goat water trough or a
half 50-gal drum in each pasture where the sheep are rotated to. I
fill the troughs in the corrals from a nearby spigot; the troughs out
in the pasture are set up to fill from nearby irrigation lines during
the summer. Each corral has a hay feeder like the one here:

scrap wood from old pallets and scrap metal roofing panels.

I don't have a picture of ours but we use stock panels cut into 3'x4'
sections and secured with quicklinks or premier1 spirals and double snaps.
I should get a picture of those to share if anyone is interested. They are
easy to move and put away when not needed.
I was interested in your green grain feeder Are those split well pipes?
What do you use for water? Do they have a hay feeder in there too?
