Cattle Ponds

[frenchie]

From previous experiences with dams i would be inlclined to fence the water source off (though we haven't).

We had a young show bull get his head stuck in the hay ring and he dragged it about 100m in attempt to get his head out. The problem being the 100m was in the dam (to get there he had gone around two 90degree bends and over the steepest side of the dam wall) and consequently the bull drowned.

Tough break.

Why not the best of both worlds? Fence the cows out of the pond and install a concrete freeze proof waterer that is supplied from the pond.

It is difficult for me to understand why, when the most logical, pragmatic and common sense answer to most problems LOOMS directly in front of one's face- - - it just can't be seen!! :shock: :roll: dun's solution is so reaonable there should be no time wasted in accomplishing the deed! Hello! Anybody home here??!
