[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 614292, member: 7509"] As seen here by the other posts there are differences in experience and opinion. The folks that have used snow only as a water source are basically out west of you and have cattle that have probably grown up with snow in the winter as a water source. I would suspect they also tend to find a spring or running stream somewhere. If the trade off is hauling hay to the cattle I would ask myself if it was worth taking a chance with cattle that have never had to rely on snow as water before. If you end up having to haul water to the cows in this weather that may end up being far more hassle that hauling hay bales. jmho. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
