[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 614315, member: 8978"] In alberta a lot of guys swath grazing just let the cows eat snow. I have some good springs and those old cows will walk a long ways to get a drink rather than eat snow. Several years ago I got pretty sick of cattle waterers always freezing up and replaced the two at the corrals with hydrants and water troughs. I have to fill them up but at least I'm not always out thawing out waterers! I doubt I would have changed except the well at the corrals went kaput and I had to drill another about 100 feet away so figured if I had to dig new water lines might as well get rid of those darn waterers! Incidently I got in a water witch and he found me a tremendous well at 50 ft./50 gal./min. Well worth the $100 he charged. [/QUOTE]
