NW IA | Some years ago I looked at energy free water fountains for my cattle. The feed company rep that was advising me at the time about blew a fuse! I remember him saying that all energy free fountains, "Should be packed with dynamite and blown off the face of the earth!" He claimed at that time the reduction in feed intake was too high a price to pay for the convenience, and wanted cattle walking up to open water whether it was cold or hot outside.
Is there any side by side data showing cattle performance on either type of equipment in severe weather?
I have Mira Fount , might take a closer look at Richies next time. The electrical cost estimate is pretty insignificant.
