For our feed system we have a process computer and feeding boxes in the stable. They are connected with a two-wire cable. Somebody else in this forum found out that it is differential Manchester encoding.

See these links: Hardware/software needed to decode Differential Manchester? and Data Slicer for Differential Manchester

I have exactly the same system as in this thread. What I want is: send the signal over Ethernet to another location, pick up the signal there, and place a feed box. The signal needs to communicate 2 ways.

Is this possible and how? Can I do it with Arduinos with Ethernet shields? Or is it more complicated?

I have two devices that can send CANBUS over Ethernet. But then I found it isn't CANBUS and found the thread in the link.

    \$\begingroup\$ Just to clarify here: you are not asking whether you can use Cat-5 cabling (i.e. "Ethernet cable") instead of your existing two-wire cable. You're asking if you can have a box in the barn that's two-wire in and Ethernet out, and a box somewhere else that's Ethernet in and two-wire out -- yes? So, sort of an Ethernet-enabled cable extender? If so, please edit your question with this clarification. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ I forgot.. Is the Ethernet PHY not doing Manchester encoding already? The very begining of Ethernet MAC + PHY took 2 cards of STD boards, and had that Manchester encoding somewhere, I thought. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @jay - The ethernet PHY is working at 10, 100, 1000Mbps and not easily usable at other frequencies. \$\endgroup\$
