[QUOTE="Randi, post: 1471351, member: 24883"] I'm not sure yet what we'll breed her to. She's 75% Shorthorn 25% Angus. The options are Red Shorthorn, Red Angus or our home raised Black Angus (I was hoping he'd be red...But he was too nice not to keep). It is a solar powered system. We dug a well in a pasture that doesn't have power. The trough is insulated. The pump can draw water up to 60', and it drains back so the water line doesn't freeze. It operates on a float system. So far it has worked well. The last few days it has been below -30C and we've had to break ice in the trough, but that's it. There are 250 cows drinking on it now. In the second photo, we were just setting it up in the winter pasture. The cows were impatiently waiting for us to get it going. There's a fence around it now. [/QUOTE]
