Fixing A Cattle Water Fountain During The Winter On A Dairy Farm!

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Always good to keep things organized. Makes repairs so much easier. Thanks for making an appearance Owen!!

[@gregburris4947]

I was very surprised to see that you used Nelson Waters when I first started watching you a couple years ago. The very first hog waters I used were Nelson Waters. That was in the early '80s. I lived just 10 minutes north of cedar rapids. It was easy to access the parts. Only horse owners in my area were using them, not livestock owners such as me. I liked them. And I, also have worked on them in very cold weather. Ha!

It is so true a farmer has to be a master of so many things and you guys are . Great video

[@jamesmarsh4957]

good to see Owen again , so good to have heated drinkers with the weather you get there , lot of winter to go yet

[@jpeel2066]

Great video. If your dad wasn't a farmer he would make a good teacher. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@nothingman5150]

He is both teaches his kids and all of us watching

[@robertbackhus9609]

George, you are the best. So knowledgeable about so many farm-related issues.

[@harveypenner2386]

[@kensmithler5965]

Great video Owen! The benefits of being organized and explaining how and why, excellent. Nice that Mariska had a part too. She's a sweety. Great channel!

[@denniskondel5442]

Diffently a well organized shop

[@suecrothers9041]

On farm always something to fix!

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Not sure that's a skill I will ever need, but it was interesting to watch.

[@TMarie-eb8rt]

George, you are sure talented in ALL that you do! Thanks for sharing!

[@aaronwilson4083]

Good idea on sitting the drinking cup into the wet concrete. I'm sure it looks better than silicone and there's no need to reapply sealant if/when it falls off. Those waterer's seem like a really slick setup!

[@geraldsundberg3610]

Lots of friendly help there guys!

[@MichaelMoher]

Always a lesson learned.

You are proactive to do this in warm weather, Our Behlen fountain froze up the other day at 18 below. Usually a bucket of hot water gets the valve open. Not this time, had to open the front door and get out our heat gun. Our patient cattle thought they were dying of dehydration and wanted to be first in line to get a drink. Always a challenge; that's farming in the winter!

Hi good evening Gierek farms from Indiana keep warm

[@westernwifarmer9770]

We fed out 150 head of beef steers and all we ever used was Nelson Waterers. Always felt they were the best bang for the buck.

[@clinthochrein888]

That’s a pretty slick watering system. I did hear Randy Travis song mentioned from George.

[@stanhensley3082]

This job would be a lot more fun if it were 10 below zero!! Been there done that!! Yep, lots more fun?? Thanks 😊.

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Oh yeah. Me too! Frozen water fountains, frozen hydrants. Probably not bad if you're an Eskimo.

Most important person on a repair job? The flashlight person!

[@chuckborn580]

I have a couple on the shelf here in Sheboygan Falls if you want them

[@markschwab7829]

Never saw that style waterer before look nice! I see your Agri King sweatshirt do you guys use there premix?

[@jeremyscott8690]

Post a gag reel with bloopers when the cows will absolutely not give a chance to film normal content (St. Bernard nose as well). It would be hilarious behind the scenes footage. Thank you so much for your content..❤

[@JeffRonsman]

I wouldn’t give you .50 cents for that water fountain Ritchie are a lot easier to work on ! I have some that are 27 yrs old never touched them

[@steveketchum9836]

I inherited several of these nelson waterers 24 yrs ago with my farm. None are in use today and you couldn't pay me to put one in.

[@8tomtoms8]

We had a few of them on our farm when I was growing up and we had a lot of trouble w/ them. They'd either not shut off, not fill, or freeze. Also, the cows LOVED to play in them and slosh water all over the floor.

You could always just plop a rag over that hole of no return to prevent accidental loss of tools/screws/etc while you're doing the work.
