[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1816822, member: 24565"] Unless the water at the barn has a different smell or taste. Calves here start drinking from a trough at a week old or so. I don't think that any animal from a farm with troughs will not know how to drink. The question is if they will accept the differences in the water and if there are boss animals standing at the tank for the cooling effect. We bought a bull years ago from an area that had odd tasting water. In visiting the folks and drinking water and tea it was quite obvious. When we got home, the bull refused to drink our well water for 3 days. I guess ours didn't have that smell or taste that he thought was indicative of all water. [/QUOTE]
