[QUOTE="snake67, post: 1016308, member: 17764"] Seems to me it would be cheaper and easier to simply lay a hose out - even if it has to go the long way around so you can follow the fence line and not worry about hose damage from cattle - send it to the trough with a cut off float. If you have multiple toughs - put an over flow in the first, connect it to the second and so on - let it fill them all - with the last trough getting a cutoff float in it. All troughs get filled - less than a couple hours to set up and the water shuts off automatically. As for winter - this is a different story - you did not mention your plan for that. When winter comes we shut it all off and bring the cows to home water. Makes it easy to catch them. You guys seem to have way more cash than me. Bez [/QUOTE]
