[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1022448, member: 1974"] Dun is right. My husband put a waterline out to the middle of the pond. The end has a strainer over it and is suspended from a plastic barrel to about 4 feet below the water surface. Any higher and it tends to get clogged with floating pond weeds. We use a water pump to fill a 1000 gallon tank on a wagon running gear. Then we haul the water wagon to wherever we have the cows and use a float valve on a hose to fill water tanks. Our other pond has a dry hydrant, [url]http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0oG7pBzTqVRlFYALgOl87UF;_ylc=X1MDOTU4MTA0NjkEX3IDMgRjc3JjcHZpZANOUG5ZWVVvRzd2eUpLWFQzVUZPNlVRMlVNbVlpZVZHbFRtOEFCdjJ5BGZyA3NmcARmcjIDc2ctZ2FjBGdwcmlkA2xZY0c3YmpOUWxhTHgxaFdWcDROdEEEaXQDZ3AEbl9ncHMDMTAEb3JpZ2luA3N5YwRwb3MDNQRwcXN0cgNkcnkgaHlkcmFudARxdWVyeQNkcnkgaHlkcmFudARzYWMDMQRzYW8DMQRzZWMDcmVsLXNhBHNsawN0ZXh0BHRvU3RyaW5nA1tvYmplY3QgT2JqZWN0XQ--?p=dry%20hydrant%20design&fr=sfp&fr2=sg-gac&type=W3i_SP%2C204%2C0_0%2CStartPage%2C20130313%2C17117%2C0%2C25%2C0&hspart=w3i&hsimp=yhs-syctransfer&pqstr=dry%20hydrant[/url] We run an electric wire around our ponds to keep the cows off the edge into the water. We also rotationally graze so the cows are only around the pond for 1 day out of 30. [/QUOTE]
