[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 518188, member: 852"] Alice- my thoughts on water- at least in my area of the country it hasn't been that big a deal and I haven't noticed significantly more or less scour problems because I did or did not provide water. The main reason I don't generally provide it is because of the hassle without significant returns. Granted, calves in the summer I often provide water for, and calves on nurse cows (the way I've raised them the last 2-3 years or so) have water since they are with the cow 24/7. Around 10-14 days I have most calves drinking from a bucket and that's when I provide grain... before then they don't seem to notice it and it isn't worth my while. Just my thoughts based on my experience in my area of the country. ;-) I'm perfectly willing to accept that things may be better done other ways in your area. [/QUOTE]
