[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 873506, member: 7509"] I put each waterer on a raised pad 4" higher than the surrounding area and about a foot larger than the waterer footprint to keep cattle from backing up to them and taking a dump in or on the waterer. I put a post on each side just outside this raised pad and cut out a heavy gage cattle panel to go up and over the waterer, splitting it between two pastures. You can put two posts and X bracing on each side for your fencing and a more or less permanent job. The panel can be easily cut to fill in the sides so small calves can't squeeze through and stapled to the posts. Make sure you leave enough clearance on top to service the waterer or put the panel a bit off center to access any top openings on the waterer. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
