[QUOTE="simme, post: 1639176, member: 40418"] Look at the round concrete troughs. They are several inches thick. About 7 feet diameter. Room for several head at once. Water inlet is bottom center so that water line will not freeze under the tank. Jobe float valve in the center of the tank so that the cows don't disturb it. Concrete and water volume hold some heat, so slower to freeze. Generally only freeze on the surface and thaw during the day. Install on a high spot with geotextile fabric around it and about 10 tons of crusher run gravel on top. Some of the concrete companies make them and deliver and set them. Here is an example. http://www.alltexirrigation.com/water-troughs [/QUOTE]
