January water

Our system of water transport to the livestock is fairly unsophisticated. There are a couple of cold proof spigots on the farm, and a series of hoses link up to them. On days when it will freeze and not warm up barrels are filled and dipped with buckets after the skim ice is broken.

We have been able to use the hoses on many mornings this year. The temperatures are warm enough that the water flows through. It was colder in December but not so much now...
