Thinking ahead to lambing time and wanting to make the job a bit easier, we use empty crystalyx buckets to water the ewes in the individual pens. All they seem to do is fill it with hay, poop in it or the bloody lambs jump in [emoji31]
What's the best drinker to have for them? There's a few different kinds, cheaper ones with a nipple or ones with a float valve, plastic and galv. I've not had owt to do with em before
Or any alternatives that one of you clever people had come up with?
(Apart from lambing outside)
TIA
