to Keep Water Buckets
from Freezing in Winter
Trying to keep water buckets from freezing in the cold months can feel like a never-ending chore.

If the water supply is frozen, animals cannot consume the right amount of water and they can easily become dehydrated, even though it is not hot outside.

Removing the ice will prevent new ice from forming as quickly. As long as you do it throughout the day, it can prevent the entire bucket of water from freezing.
. . .
Remove Ice Chunks Completely and Often
Old tires from cars or trucks do not have to be thrown out because they can be repurposed around the farm, especially to help insulate water buckets!
