Driftless SW Wisconsin

You are welcome. The list price on the 34C is $650 or so but call them and maybe you can get a unit for less this time of year. That may not be too bad for a product that weighs 875 lb and has some engineering in it.

The thing about cattle I am finding is that there is a certain level of investment needed, whether you have 10 head or 100. you just have to look at it as a longer time payback. But the cattle having warm unfrozen water in the winter is something that will pay itself off maybe faster than you think. I think water is a big part of them maintaining condition as they eat better....just my non-cattle expert theory and observation.

I look at mine as saving me from putting up a shed and a lot of costs associated with that. As pointed out above look into an NRCS program if there is one in your area.

Whatever you do, especially in a waterer in WY, do it right the first time. Good luck.
