[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 621519, member: 7509"] I won't get to efusive here but I am a strong believer in these Petersen Concrete waterers. [url]http://petersenwaterers.com/secure-petersenwaterers/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=422[/url] I use the 34C on about the same number of head. It was 28 degrees below zero here last week and did not have a problem. I know you are not that concerned about freezing in your location but I understand they have a non electric drip type for southern areas. And you can buy them for less than shown including freight. They are near indestrucible. Even in the south however, install it exactly as they show on their website with maybe a 4" high step around the base 12" out. This is one product I have purchased that every time I look at it I feel better - not worse as I do looking at many other things I bought around the farm over the years. FWIW. No I don't sell them, I just saw one at a farm show a few years ago. I like stuff that works better than expected. Whatever bran or type you install pour a concrete pad around it right after water is run up the culvert. Suggestion: Also run a #10-3 underground type electric wire in the trench with the pipe even if you don't plan on using anything electric right now. I would not worry about shade - you don't want them lounging there or it will be a manure pile, a wet manure pile! You want them to get a drink and get out. They will usually drink in the cooler parts of the day anyway as I see it. Pick a central location which will have access or lanes to each of your grazing areas. [/QUOTE]
