I was thinking the same. Or were they just after being let out of a shed, after being cleaned up and groomed?

I don't think there is a totally sh*t free water bowl. Rump rails etc,, doesn't matter, they'II still fire it in!

Ours are at the front and would be the first thing checked before feeding. Have a small saucepan that use to clean them out if needs be.

There was a post a few years ago on about putting a row or two of cavity blocks around the base of the drinker so the cows couldn't reverse right up to them. I've been meaning to try it out, that along with the other 100 long finger jobs!!

Little buggers are hard to photograph as they run around like roadrunners but here are our partridge. We have two pairs but the male red ring seems to be fancying the female blue ring :pac:
