central - east central Minnesota - | TheBonePile - 9/25/2011 20:50 any good ideas for economically keeping water (and not a complete ice chunk) for 5 to 10 cows over winter - no time for underground install this year..... do have a 100 gal oval and 200 gal oval tank - Consider makeing a cover/box around one of the tanks - leaving a opening for one cow to drink. Cover the covered tank with composted manure or straw and cover the straw so the animals don't chew into it. Then use an electric tank heater as suggested. Pretty effencent with the cover around the tank . . . . |
