Description

Another method for directing livestock movements in lieu of fencing, is strategic placement of water sources. This can limit livestock congregation at sites needing protection from heavy stocking or use where fencing is not an option. Supplying water tanks for livestock involves keeping tanks filled, unfrozen, and free of leakage.
