[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 58384, member: 245"] [u]Watering in a Winter Wonderland[/u] Watering cattle in the winter, Can be challenging you see. And the best way to do it, Seems a mystery to me. Now Annie was a farm girl, A hardworking little lass. A woman of noble spirit, A lady with some class. Until one day I caught her, Saying words I never knew, She was standing over a fountain, And the air was looking blue. She was talking about animals. Beavers, Female dogs and antlered deer. At least that's what I thought she said, Until I got a little nearer. I'm pretty fluent in profane, But I learned some new words that day. Of course they are the kind of things, I'd never want to say. She said 'We were watering at the dugout, Until one cow rolled the dice, And walked out in the middle, And fell right through the ice. And then of course she drowned, And then she was all stuck, So we had to chop around her, And pull her with the truck. The pump and trough were working good, Until the housing cracked and froze, And left a big bunch of ice, All stuck inside the hose. When we got the floating heater, It seemed a gift right from the Lord, Until we lost a calf to it, By biting through the cord. So we finally spent the money, And went and trenched a line. For an automatic waterer, And that seemed to be working fine. But after all that work, Something's broken underground. And when I came to do the chores, This is what I found. For that stream you see before you, Is not a fountain of youth, And its really beginning to tick me off, If you want to know the truth. Yes, working with water in the winter, Is a job that's wet and cold, A job full of frustrations, That can make your bones feel old. And just what the solution is, I don't really know. It's just one more thing we deal with, In the land of ice and snow. Copyright 2004 [/QUOTE]
