[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 805532, member: 539"] No. The ice was broken on any tanks without heaters twice a day - once in the morning and again in the late afternoon/early evening. Our water lines are buried about 6' deep and the inflow of fresh, warm water kept the tanks open for a fair amount of time. I cannot even begin to imagine leaving an animal to figure out how to get water on their own. They cannot eat enough snow to make up for readily available water and, in the case of lactating animals, water is a key ingredient to their milk production. [/QUOTE]
