Hi guys! You all were so helpful with my last question regarding barn layout. I have another for you
We are going to be installing automatic waterers. We live in Indiana, get gets cold here but not like some parts of America. (I am originally from Nebraska, that’s COLD) I would like recommendations for waterers that resist freezing, but won’t break the bank. This is our first home and we will likely be there 6-7 years. Therefore, I am not wiling to spend $500+ on the best waterers, we won’t take them with us.
I am either thinking insulated, pump/pressure type, or taking a basic waterer (see attatchment) and throwing in a float heater for the one month a year it gets below freezing.
Probably not this exact one, but something like this:

With this type of heater:

Again, probably not the same one, but you get the point.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!
