Well hi there, long time no talk. Summer was busy and spent less on the computer, but now I have a question and need ideas.........
Our old electric waterer for the cows finally gave its notice and we needed to replace it. Poured a small concrete pad, a little bigger then the new waterer, and installed a new Canarm. It sits between two large fence posts and wooden fence so it can be utilized from different pens on each side. Works great...... but it has to proove itself in the cold winter time before I yell hurray.
So my question is, our cows are quite pushy at the waterer, dominant cows may even hold access to water hostage, what do you build around YOUR waterer to protect it from pushy cows?
Ideas? Pictures?
I'd appreciate it.
