There is an old water trough by a pen that is no longer in use that started leaking mad water over the weekend while I was out at the cat ranch trying unsuccessfully to find pheasant.
I took it apart and it looks like the "stop cap" on the end of the water pipe in the trough had split (was down in the teens at night) and was spraying water out like a fountain.
It was the night before I left and I couldn't find an individual water turn off for that trough so I'm going to have to replace the cap on the pipe when I'm out there over Thanksgiving weekend. I turned the water well for the house/pens off before I left so we don't have a monster electric bill due to the pump running 24/7.
My dad is currently in the middle of a 2 week long cruise and does not have cell service so I couldn't ask him what to do.
How would you rank ben ji's city boy farm decision making abilities?
(Important side note, there are no cows or other animals currently out there that would need access to the other non broken water troughs)
