[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 881154, member: 1715"] I run bigger stocker mobs in the summer so I purchased two large trough style Cattlemaster models. Now I have cows too - - and the Cattlemasters work fine except for the amount of electicity needed in the winter... Not the best choice year round for Minnesota. May be cheaper just to buy another waterer??? I wrapped them with the plastic sheet and bubble style insulation last year, and put straw bales on the north side (which they could not reach). Held up OK, but the trough was a steam'in many mornings. I am also thinking about cutting some plywood to cover the trough - - just leaving two nose holes. Any tips here? [/QUOTE]
