Building An Insulated Water For Cattle

Welcome to Black Creek Homestead
This week we worked away at an important task!
Building an insulated water for our cattle, with the colder weather here we find ourselves having to chip away ice every single day!
This insulated water is not 100% we still get ice but it is 1000 times better than nothing around it causing ice buildup all around instead of just on top!
When you’re off grid, you have to be inventive in the winter because we don’t have the extra power to run a heater.
Thanks so much for watching!

That will work real good you can also put a wood fired heater in the water pretty simple piece of pipe with a cap. Helps during cold snaps 👨🏼‍🌾 farmers rule 💪🏼

Who said you can't put a round stick in a square hole?

Do you still use the bubblers?

We haven’t been because it’s been a crappy winter for sun!
