[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1606321, member: 25884"] Use cattle panels, or electric netting, to make a lane from far off fields to a watering point... Have seen some field designs where the water troughs are enclosed in a "lot" that is 50x50 or something like that, with gates on several sides to allow animals to be closed off from certain fields like when rotating pastures. Like the hub of a wagon wheel with lanes or gates, leading off to different fields. We have it at one place where there are 3 areas that come together at the water trough, and we can close off whatever field(s) we don't want them in. No more hauling to far off pastures. One has a lane that is maybe 25-30 feet wide, that they have to come in about 100-200 feet from the pasture fence/gate.... but they can get to water. Lots of places that design grazing use some sort of laneway for animals to do the traveling to get their own water rather than "carry it to them". [/QUOTE]
