Do you have any problems with the water lines heating up in the sun? I use some PE lines to run water but haven't hooked them up to a valve directly to the stock tank because the black lines heat up so much in the sun. I have to turn on the water and run them for a few minutes before the water cools down enough to fill tanks.
It certainly does get a bit warm. The cows drink the water down fast enough that it’s not a huge concern and once the grass covers it the issue disappears for the most part.
New family member here. Thanks for sharing how you water your pastures.
Sorry for the delay! Thanks for following!
Would you be able to show how you lay out the lines? Maybe just a diagram? Thank you!
Absolutely. We will try to get that video posted in the next week or two

Where does your water come from? Pond, well, city water?
