Cold weather water

Here is a look at our winter water situation. We haul water in on a tank put on the truck. We then deposit it into lots of water troughs for the sheep. This it the water for the main pen of bred ewes. Most days in the winter the ice on top of the water is broken a few times a day so they can drink. It is nice when the sun is out and keeps the water from freezing. We only filled 6 - 7 tubs for this group if it is very cold as they loose the water to ice. We just fill from scratch that much more often. When warmer we can fill the load and it will last them up to a week.
