I personally feed my herd strictly hay and some might remember I like to take bales out for up to a week and just open gates every couple days.
At work it's a little different, we do TMR with a wagon with primarily chopped silage. It's taken a couple of years but I'm having a (hopefully good) influence. This year we're. Putting 2/3 days worth of feed out behind gates for the main group of cows. The area we fed in up to this point wasn't ideal, one area was too small and was getting rough. Just finished setting up the new water site yesterday and moved cows in today.
The well is almost 75' from the well and it's cold so we made an overhead holder for the water line so the line can drain when not in use. Pill switch in the trough to trigger the pump. Running off a generator. Idea is to figure out the correct amount of gas to provide enough water but leave the trough empty towards the end of the day to avoid getting too much ice.
