The temps hit over 85 here yesterday, and Brisket got very thirsty. He let me know this fact by head-butting and flipping over his now-empty 17-gallon water bucket. The racket echoed all around the homestead.
Then the mooing began.
So, I filled up
the cow cart full of cool water and watered him down.
|
Brisket Le'Cow slurping up water as it comes out of the tank. Just like a water fountain for cows! |
I took a lot of pictures of the watering event. He was very cute.
|
After he got the stream of water up his nose, Brisket turned to the "traditional" way to drink water out of a bucket. |
|
He was guzzling it about as fast as the nozzle poured it. |
|
"Oh man, I'm SOOOOO thirsty!!" |
|
He had to sink his head down lower and lower and he drank more and more. |
|
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" |
I left him with another ten gallons after the slurp-fest. He drank about 5 more before I put him up for the night. Cows are by far the thirstiest animals I have ever dealt with. And the cutest whilst drinking!
