[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1772867, member: 37941"] Up here in MN freezing waterers is just a price of raising cattle. As you mentioned -- if there is snow -- cattle will eat that. I have cows that are too lazy to walk the extra 100 feet to the waterer and will eat snow instead. Also as mentioned -- sometimes just allowing for the valve to drip/trickle is enough to prevent freeze up. I have a waterer that has the water connection and valve at the bottom of the trough. Even if the water freezes at the top the valve doesn't freeze. And midday sun/cows will get the ice broken enough to drink. This works pretty much until temps fall below 0 degrees (unless it's really windy). [/QUOTE]
