I'm thinking of getting an automatic waterer for the small herd of cattle I am starting (my first two arrive tomorrow actually!).
I was at the farm equipment show looking at Ritche waterers. They look like they are well built. There are literally dozens of models. I don't expect I will have more than 15 head or so here and it does get cold. I have a 3 sided pole barn with a concrete floor where I will be installing it. I'll be running a heated water line to it from about 15 feet away.
I'd appreciate any thoughts / advice any of you could provide wrt. heated waterers or this type of installation. Is there a particular type, make or model that you have had good or bad experiences with?
