Where Iam going to put it I only will have 10 cows with calves using it if I get the one with only one ball do u think alll the cows and calves will drink from it? Seems like now that they all come up to drink at the same time and if there's only one spot to drink would that be ok
Yes they will all drink from it, but from experience, it's worth the extra dollars to get two balls, you'll be glad you have them.pricefarm":xc9byr4j said:Thanks for the info I will probably go with the mirafount.

The brand I used as well, no heater needed as stated by Fire Sweep if you have enough cattle to use it , it won't freeze. Good unit, was worth the money spent.Fire Sweep Ranch":103r16ey said:We have a Mira Fount out in the big pasture, the two hole. No heater, and has not froze IF you have enough cattle using it. Our first year, we only had a handful. Since then, we have at least 10 and it has never froze. This year, like Blacksnake, was the coldest I can remember, and it never froze.
We also have one with a heater.... like a Ritchie, but blue. We like it... you just need electricity to keep it from freezing.
