[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1317039, member: 24565"] Big deal is distance to trough and far reaches of the pasture. 800' is the breaking point if cows drink as individuals or drink as a herd. Exceptions are strip grazing where cows all eat at one time and larger %s go to the trough on the first few groups to the trough after a move. But not major. Shade needs to be away from troughs. Minerals need to be away from the trough and best to locate them in the most under utilized portion of the pasture. Drinking space is something to watch. I don't remember but about 24" to 30" per cow and volume is key if you have a lot of animals and a low yield well or system. [/QUOTE]
