You know the old Zen saying, "Before enlightenment, chop wood [and ice], carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."

What I think they meant to say was, "Before enlightenment, chop ice, carry water, freeze fingers. After enlightenment, spend free time with zen cows."

This is on my summer list, too, Keeley. Clover gets the first one and then I'll see about my goats.

Have any of you put these waterers inside barns? Or are they best for out in the pastures?

Our's freezes every year. It isn't protected, we replaced parts last year, it still freezes. Then, we have to carry water, it's frozen right now. We will get protection for it this coming winter. It might work then. I don't know Charlene, I might not be very helpful.

Charlene, I hope to put a couple in my someday dream barn. I think they'd be the cow's moo.

Sydney, what brand is your waterer that you say freezes?

It's called the horse drinker. I'm not sure, but I think that's what it is.
