Frozen Water - Slatted Sheds

millertime78 · 2010-01-06 09:58:10

Apart from the dodgy roads, the only other impact of the frost for me is that the water troughs in the slatted shed are empty. I brought water (with barrells) in there last night and suprisingly they weren't that thirsty. I guess the silage keeps them somewhat hydrated. How is everyone else faring out with this problem.

I just rob the kettle off the top of the range and run it on the pipe and fittings going into the troughs
