[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1392998, member: 25776"] It is a bad practice to have a winter feed area up gradient of an open water source the cows are drinking from. It an ideal pathway to expose your cows to bacteria, viruses and parasites shed in the waste products from the cows. In addition, the organic products such as ammonia, urea and other intermediate organic compounds in the breakdown of nitrogenous waste will lead to poor health and even the loss of livestock. The previous owner of my farm did just that. He lost several head of cattle one winter and the veterinarian who investigated determined that the waste in the water killed the cows. [/QUOTE]
