[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 856598, member: 12607"] Thanks for sharing. And your point is??? I don't put anything in the pond water that's piped by gravity-flow to my cattle's stock tanks, and they drink that water very well, too. They really like it. And without any added vinegar. They've been eating grass and weeds - and no feed other than a balanced mineral mix - since they went out to stockpiled fescue in February. Without any $$$ spent on vinegar. Now, if you had a similar group of cattle -and it would probably require more than 11 animals in each group to be a statistically significant number - pastured under the same conditions, without the added vinegar - and you had some objective measurements - like: increased weight gain, diminished number of flies(someone would have to count them on each group!), etc., in the group receiving vinegar - and you repeated the experiment several years in a row... THEN you could compare those objective measurements and MAYBE be able to make a claim that putting vinegar in their water provided some benefit - IF it offset the expense of the vinegar. But, if you just come on here saying that you put some vinegar in their water and now they have shinier coats, can run faster and jump higher... well, as you said - you've got no proof of anything.
