[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1165334, member: 14713"] I'm a firm believer in good water. I installed pipelines so no cow is over a half mile from a water tank. I'm fortunate to have some of the best quality water there is on my summer place that I still own. The well is 140' deep and has never pumped dry. Where I live I joined with neighbors to pipe artesian water from another neighbor. It's good livestock water and cattle like it. Got a lot of sodium in it and a little hard on plumbing but it's a blessing, especially compare to the low quality/quantity or simply no water situation previously. I call :bs: that cows don't like "city" clorinated water. I hauled this water for years. Originates at the Oahe Dam on the Missouri River. Cows drink twice as much when you're hauling it to them, especially from 17 miles away. :roll: The galvanized stock tank I used stayed looking just like new when I hauled the chlorinated water to them. They were done in a couple years with the artesian water. :shock: [/QUOTE]
