    I got a kick watching the steers 'watching' you! That was cute!! Enjoyed this project, hope the boy's enjoy their new water 'trough'! When I saw you eating the beef jerky, I got my jerky and savoured the taste..umm, good BBQ jerky!!

    When you were talking about cleaning the chicken litter box (earlier video) the first thing I thought of was an old spade with holes drilled in it. Little did I know they actually made such a thing. I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was.. just cheaper.

    Question....why not move the feeding areas to the other side of the lot and keep the same water tank (after cleaning it of course)?

    • @dianad3080
      @dianad3080 2 года назад

      If I'm not mistaken, he mentioned in a previous video and this one that the main issue with the original water tank is that it was big enough and low enough to the ground that the steers were stepping into the water tank to cool off and making it dirty with their muddy hooves and what not. The new tank, although smaller was taller so it shouldn't allow them to step into it and dirty it and because it isn't as wide as the other one, it isn't as close to the feeding area anymore (so no more risk of pooping in the tank while they feed).

    Buying bottles of flavoured water, or water with stuff added for the humans is a waste of money and resources. Buy re useable drink bottles and fill with water, then add powdered or tablet flavouring, or rehydration powder. No need to buy a whole new plastic bottle (or can) of mainly water just to get a few bits of micro nutrients, salts, or whatever.
