RE: 2 Minutes with the Farmer: Good Mineral Program for Livestock a MUST!!!
Its great to see your happy and healthy herd. :D Good tip for everyone, as you say each area has certain minerals that are lacking or overly abundant and they need a good balance. :D What is the big yellow and red thing behind the cows at 2:43?
God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
Thank you for watching. The red and yellow things are automatic water tanks.
Always my pleasure to come visit and see what you've got to going on. :D Oh very cool, how do you refill them? Does it get cold enough to freeze the water in them there? We have tubs in a couple pastures with hoses running to them and a couple of hoses that lead back up to a tap on the outside of the house, which is great during spring, summer, and fall, but not so great in the winter, we have to lug water buckets during winter months, so we're always looking for something to help with the watering process. :D
God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
We have had underground piping that keeps them full. They will freeze if it gets really cold. But it doesn’t get very cold here in KY. If it is going to get cold I will put a long burning candle down in the ground by where the water line comes up. This has worked great. Have a wonderful day!!
Very smart, we've spoken about doing something similar, just waiting on time and finances to come together. :D I wonder if the long burning candle idea would work here after we've finally got it in place, it can get into the mid -30's C or lower here some times, thankfully not for long periods normally though.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. :D
God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
