Are Angus bulls wateraholics?

This two year old is constantly at the waterer, any disease related to this action? He is very healthy and proper weight, gets constant hay and daily sweet feed and mineral wormer blocks.

Being black their body act as a heat sink. Suspect he is just compensating for heat loss. All of my black bulls have loved to soak in the pond when it is hot. Most just past their testicles. However, last one would go in to where only his head and upper shoulders were out of the water.

Ours likes to just stand there and act as a barrier for the others to get to the water....I think its a male domination thing....!
