where is the best place to install energy free waterer inside or outside,this is all new to me let me know thanks Dean :D

What kind are you looking at?? We have a Ritchie energy free bowl. It is outside, on top of a hill, but we did put a windbreak around it. We rarely have trouble with it freezing, although in really cold weather the "balls" will freeze in and they have to be broken loose before the cows can drink. On the rare occaison that it does freeze all we have had to do is pour a couple gallons of hot water down the pipe and valve.
 
I would just put them werever they will provide the most benefit. If you can use 1 waterer for 2 or more pens, that would be the best. I have 2 waterers that take care of 5 pens.
