[QUOTE="Chocolate Cow2, post: 1530458, member: 32644"] We are a state licensed facility. We can have 999 head on site. If we go over that, we're in violation. Anything over 999 head becomes a federal facility. State rules piggy-back on federal rules. We had to put in a lagoon 10 years ago. Now, we are required to monitor and record rainfall and our water level in the lagoon is monitored in real time by KDHE. We are inspected yearly. Pens have to meet standards. Here's the worst of the deal....we don't custom feed for anyone and haven't for years. The state will not allow our license to expire. The state inspector can make or break you. If you're close to a stream, lake or river, be aware of severe consequences. We're 5 miles from a river but it was insisted we had to have a lagoon. I don't know what state you are in, I'm speaking from our experience in Ks. We have water tanks. Some think automatic waterers are the way to go but K-State research showed there will be a bully or dominate calf in the group that keep the more timid from watering at an automatic waterer. A water tank give access to more cattle. [/QUOTE]
