I bought some mining tires that have a cement plug in them to do the same thing. Only difference is I think I’m gonna go with a pond bubbler to keep the trough open. It has a steel pipe up through the middle where the water comes up to a float. Probably hang a 100 watt light in there to keep it thawed over top of a culvert so the ground heat will help it too. We get some -40 through the winter though up here.

I saw you commented your pups are a mix breed, Maremma/Karackachan, can they handle wolves? This has been an issue in MN, have you come across an any issues with wolves in your area? Better question, have your dogs been able to keep them away from the livestock? There's been a few incidents in this area and from what I have researched and all your videos you've posted, I would believe your pups could handle? If so, how many pups do you have left, and which breed is the father/mother? From all your videos I've wached I can see the delight and beauty from your pups and a huge assest they are. I would love to get one for my farm/ranch - trained like yours, heard the cattle & sheep, family friend, and protector of the farm. Thanks!
@WholesomeFamilyFarmsАй бұрын
I can’t say we have a lot of Wolves around here although there have been some in our area over the years. We’ve got mainly bobcats and coyotes to worry about here. I would have no doubt in my mind that these dogs work well with wolves too. These new pups should be ready to go on their own by spring/early summer. Would you be looking for male or female?
@WholesomeFamilyFarmsАй бұрын
The dad is a full blood maremma and mother is full blood Karakachan. These dogs are guard dogs though. They don’t herd livestock like my dog Rusty does. He’s a border collie.

We’ve been adding some dairy back into our herd a bit to increase milk production. Using a horned toggenburg this time. Most of our does are Spanish/boer crosses. Have used a horned saanen years ago. Helped quite a bit. Like the boer to add to the weaning weights, but like the Spanish cause they are a little smarter goat on pasture.
