[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1564779, member: 18809"] The calf is very audible when breathing tonight. She is nursing, and lively, but coughs and breaths heavy. I think I will call the vet out if she does not get better tomorrow. The pipe is a temporary water system we use when we get pigs for the fair. We buy our pigs in early March, and they go to the processor the first week of June. We have used this system for years, and never had a problem. We are currently having record cold temps, and hindsight I should have shut the water off and drained the line anticipating the extreme cold. We are currently watering the pigs in tubs, and hope to install a hydrant (instead of PVC) that we can just run a hose from for the pigs when we have them. We should have done that years ago, but just never got around to it. Now is a great reason since we need to repair the pipe anyway. The other PVC line in the barn that we use for the wash rack is wrapped in heat tape. That one did not bust, however it is only about 5 feet above the ground. [/QUOTE]
