Or indeed any info at all about any of them at all. Looking at a 66gal stainless steel atm but continuous hot water for washing would be attractive too. Probably have to install water softener as well so I reckon I won't be able to use the softened water for feeding calves, iirc?

It's going to be bloody cold if nothing else at least but it's better than rain I suppose. Cows grazing here full time and it's saved a lot if silage which I'll probably be feeding by this time next week. Glad I have the urea out too.
