[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 674330, member: 968"] Hmmm - good question. Barnlot is probably about 120 x 150'. Main 6-hole Mirafount waterer is pretty much in the center, with a dividing fence going over the top & ending right at the edge of the waterer. That way I can divide the lot & have cattle from another paddock water out of the same waterer. In the summer, we take the tops (with the holes) off the waterer. Love that feature. Than we also have a 150 gal water tank with a Hi-flow float on it. And, we also set up a 1500 gal water tank that cyphens to another tank with a Hi-flow float on it. During the winter, the winter lots have a small creek that runs constant, but 1 group still waters out of the 6-hole waterer. The other tanks are shut down in the winter. Yes, in spring, we push any excess up into a pile at the back of the lot. We periodically sell (or give away sometimes) loads of dirt. During the summer, the cattle LOVE to lay on top of the pile. During the summer, we never have to "clean" the lot. Just kinda dries up & turns to dirt (they are VERY loose most of the time.) [/QUOTE]
