The Water Box (thewaterboxltd.com) can be inserted through the ice at shallow depths of water that is flowing. Cattle can access water by lifting a lever with their nose and there’s also a mineral tub insert so it can be used in warmer months.
Lee said he developed the low-maintenance unit over the past decade.
