I asked Santa for a heated, automatic waterer to place in a rented pasture where the owner only had a tank. I wanted to make sure the owner wouldn't worry about the water freezing on the cattle. It is an elderly lady that is very nice and is concerned about the cattle. When I told her I had a new heated waterer to put out there, she said she was afraid of those and didn't want any cattle electrocuted on her property. I was so proud that Santa brought it to me. Now it looks like I am going to have to come up with something else. I looked at the Mirafount waterers, and when I look at the prices, I feel all of my joints aching. A one baller, I found it for $329. It will water 60 beef cattle and 30 dairy cattle. My fingers are sore from trying to find something more economical on the internet. I wonder if I install a toiet in the middle of the pasture if that would work. I could teach them to flush it when it ran dry. I would have to teach the bull to raise the seat when he drank from it!! :lol:
