[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3522574, member: 5412"] My Uncle was the big cattle rancher. He always bought a 2WD pickup with positrack rear end, saying loudly it was as good as a 4WD. Whenever the snow got deep or the mud was really muddy, he always called me to meet him at the gate with the 4WD to feed or look for winter calves. There are several home built pond mills in my area, but with a single day of no wind, they are useless in temps like this, locking up with ice like everything else. I've seen some solar pumps with battery back ups that move the deeper water in a pond to the surface but again, they can't overcome the extended freeze we are experiencing now and cloudy skies to recharge the battery. Water on the edges freezes up so the cows move to the center where there is water and drown in some cases. Tough times for domestic and wildlife. [/QUOTE]
