Central Missouri | We build sucker rod pens around the backside to protect the dirt pile and the taller the grass the better the insulation.
Putting a shut off valve just before the waterer (ball valve centered in 8"pipe so it can be reached with a handle) makes clean out and repair a lot easier.
Putting the tank farther above ground level helps keep the cleaner, one farm came with meloy waterers sitting on the ground with dirt piled on top and very large dirt piles (pens made from 14' gates) on the back and facing south, they cause don't freeze any worse or more often than ones set deep.
Also we have set concrete slabs in front of almost every one, mostly old concrete walls from a turkey litter building.
I was curious about the double waterers in fence lines. What direction do you face them? The single sided work best facing south.
