Water for Cows

Paul ~~ Another project the team worked on was water troughs for the cows. Previously the water trough was outside the pens and not readily accessible to the cows.

Now there will be a trough in each pen that should allow for better hydration and more milk production, assuming they are regularly filled. Some of the challenges with feeding and watering animals has been the inconsistency of providing to their basic needs. But it is all about sharing best practices and ongoing education.
