Are your animals getting enough water? I write this in the middle of November when cows are finally slowing down on their daily intake of water. But that does not mean water intake is not just as important in the cooler season as it is the warmer season. Cows always need water! Craig Thomas, from Michigan State University asks, “Do you know which land-based mammal has the highest daily drinking water requirement (per unit pound of body weight)? Elephant? Rhinoceros? Hippopotamus? These may be good guesses, but the answer is the modern dairy cow.”
